Yes. Travelling internationally really puts it in perspective.
Also, I lost weight immediately when I lived abroad.

Americans are very, very easy to spot when traveling abroad.

Same.
Many parts of the world just don’t have the access or convenience of food that we do here. People will point to our food and say it’s “this or that” which we put in it that makes us fat but the numbers show that every culture which gets the access to food that we have starts gaining weight. Parts of the Middle East, Africa, even the far East are all seeing significant increases in obesity (regardless of their food sources/make up) and it’s because of their increasing access to food or the cultural changes towards food.
The hard truth is that we as a species are physically and mentally hardwired to consume food when it’s available. So we either have to suppress that evolutionary trait or live a very active lifestyle - both of which are difficult in a post industrial and relatively wealthy society with an abundance of readily available food.
