Am petite Asian woman who is a healthy weight. I do see overweight Asian women (Asians in general) though. It’s becoming more common IMO as people’s diet’s are getting worse/more indulgent. More delicious options eating out, less home-cooking. But I was raised a certain way, with lots of home-cooking lol. -> Eat a balanced meal. My table spread must look balanced! So even if I order pork belly, I have to order a side of dark greens, or maybe a light veg soup. I also don’t eat too much rice. And my best compliment for dessert? “Ah! Not too sweet” 🤣 (this one’s funny, it’s kind of an older Asian insider running joke. I sound like my mom lmao)

ALSO! There’s something about eating “family style” (shared plates). You actually don’t eat as much bc you don’t want to take everything. It’s not like eating let’s say American style, where you get a huge plate in front of you. It pushes you to want to finish the plate. With family style, you naturally eat a bit slower, you only take what you can finish.

I don’t really feel it, but I think that’s because I’m not on all the time. I’m often busy with real life, so I just come on when I have extra downtime. There’s definitely an ebb and flow. None of that matters to me though. I’m all in for the Fediverse 100%.
