I watched the video and I also lived and worked in Seoul, she was spot on. I did think that people in Seoul seemed to eat a lot but virtually no one was fat but the reasons she gives for this made total sense and some of that I also observed.
I thought the restaurant food in Seoul was the best of anywhere I've lived and I've lived all over the world.
That's very sad! I wonder how much of the growing obesity in Korea is caused by the American style fast food restaurants, sodas, junk food brands that have appeared in Korea over the past few decades??
Welcome to the club. I watched <30 seconds before exiting this vid. I wonder what those who edit that way find so entertaining about such editing.
It looks worse than if the speaker just stumbled over words a bit, or made some mistakes, which is perfectly natural. The frenetic jump cut editing makes me feel like I'm watching AI robots, which is probably where things are heading.
...and the North Koreans are on a perpetual starvation diet.
Curious why you say that? Did you get that from watching the video? I didn't. but maybe you got something different?
From what I've read, seems we Americans are on on obesity diet--we eat many more calories than we need to stay healthy. And too many of those calories lack nutrients...
I think that (most) anyone can be slim if they watch what they eat and move around (walking, biking, exercises).
Lot of it is exercising personal restraint (will), knowing about nutritions and consuming healthy food.
Just look what the Koreans eat and how much of it. They rely on whole, minimally-processed foods and a lot of vegetables. Lots of healthy fermented food and probiotics.
They also care about their image, clothes, skin care etc..
But I think the slimmest people are Vietnamese, Indians living in India (in the US they gain weight rapidly), Italians in Europe.
Average 20 y.o woman in the US weight 170 lb, in contrary to Korean that weights > 130 lb.
I'm slightly under the weight of the average 20 yo American woman. JFC
