It's been a minute since then, I've been in Australia for the past two decades as well - and yup, the trend is bad almost everywhere.

Having read (well, listened to) Attia's excellent OUTLIVE, I've reversed my own (slowly turned bad) trajectory by switching my diet to the basics - all home made meals, making my own breads, lots of milk and eggs, meats (not in excess), exclusively extra virgin oil and pure butter in my cooking (zero blends/veg oil etc), and not buying any (sugar) snacks - combined with exercise. Oh and no alcohol for the past few years either - sacrifices had to be made. :-)

Luckily my own kids are showing zero signs of obesity, they are very healthy.
