    Got to eat less, exercise more.

    Adult obesity rates at historic high; B.C. numbers jump: UBC study

    Our ethnic makeup might also explain why British Columbians are statistically thinner than other Canadians, according to UBC nutrition professor Judy McLean. Our large Asian community is likely helping, statistically.

    Richmond has the lowest rate of obesity in Canada and has the highest Asian population, at least 50 per cent of Richmond residents identify as Chinese.

    Whities can't help but to have their burgers, fries, hotdogs, pizza, spaghetti, and large coke.

    I have seen one or two obese chinese but hardly any obese Indo-Canadian. Must be the curry/spice diet.
