They may not quite be on par with the obesity levels of the US, but I predict within the next 5-10 years they will be right on our tails. Why? Duncan Donuts, Outback, McDonald’s, Smoothie King, a million cafes serving fattening lattes, etc. Koreans aren’t skinny anymore, and you don’t need statistics, just open your eyes and look around. I was initially worried about being too fat but after I got to Seoul I blended right in (except for being a foreigner).
