I hear too much about 'Western diet' and 'Western lifestyle' being responsible for the rise in obesity in developing countries. Here is a counter narrative.

"Global increases in overweight/obesity appear to be driven more by domestic processes including economic development, urbanization and women’s empowerment, and are less clearly negatively impacted by external globalization processes suggesting that the harms to health from global trade regimes may be overstated."
