"Indians are much thinner than Americans" <-- Its got more to do with diet, culture and lifestyle, than with money. In India, an overwhelming majority of people cook their own food on a daily basis. Burgers, Fries and Carbonated drinks are not part of the food culture. There is no car culture like in the US, and people walk a lot more on a daily basis. And to say people live full lives on 100 USD/month is misleading. The cost of living in India is also proportionally minute when converted to USD.
