Judging by what I've read of your writings, the Azeris have trouble getting enough to eat. In the UK, food is cheap, plentiful, and advertised all over the place. One thing to remember is that in the UK, it is actually the poorer people who tend to be obese as they consume more fast food and cannot afford health club memberships.

It seems that people in poorer nations, where food is more scarce, value fat. But then, upon migrating to wealthy nations like the UK gradually tend to prefer thin women.
