A normal home meal is fairly balanced, if you were eating out a lot that isn't a great representation of a normal diet. Also portion sizes are much smaller than the west.
I think you are right about fitness, in general there is a lot of riding and walking in daily life. Unlike in a lot of the west, where you can go from sitting at home to sitting in your car to sitting at your desk without more than 100m of walking.
I will admit that it's amazing the smoking is rarely mentioned. It's everywhere oh my god, I got head spins from one cafe. Your clothes smell like cigarettes half the time. I think it's getting better, lots of places choose to ban smoking inside now. But it's still pervasive.
- presentation 6y agoIt's more than restaurants choosing to limit it, a straight up ban has gone into effect for the last 9 months now [1] - hence it's much better than before. Not sure how or if it's legal, but some divey spots have managed to get exemptions or are just risking it though - a friend of mine who runs a cafe says that the cafe is classed as some kind of social club so it's not subject to the same ban, but that sounds pretty shakey lol.
