Abstract:

As globalization arrives in the Third World, so does the unhealthy Western diet. Over the past 20 years, poor people in developing countries have greatly increased their consumption of sweetened beverages, vegetable oils and animal-source foods (meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products).
People in the developing world are also adopting Western lifestyles that contribute to obesity.
No country in modern times has successfully reduced its number of overweight citizens, but governments and aid programs are considering various interventions.
