    I don't think it has to do with culture. I think it has to do with McDonalds (and other fast food). All cultures are having this problem.

    This has nothing to do with the question that's being asked.

    A lot of the food in Scandanavian countries are very high cal, they're supposed to be hearty and stick to your ribs in the enduring cold.

    I have no idea, but from my travels I'd say every "Western" country I've been to has some serious calorie bombs in there! Overall the leanest seeming regional diet would probably have to have been Okinawa. I can't think of much of anything common over there that was really calorie dense.

    I think pretty much every culture has high calorie foods ... probably easier to list the cultures with generally low calorie diets.

    I'm Indian and I think it's safe for me to say that Indian food is high in calories specially the Mughal cuisine. Biryani, butter chicken and we eat a lot of rice
