They include having smaller portion sizes， and using the Western population as a guide， they have got fatter and fatter and the same is going to happen in the Asian population - a combination of a lack of exercise and just feeding people too much. Fast food companies have a lot to answer for – they have just promoted bigger portion sizes than are reasonable.
