Every time I end up in Vancouver (just one example) the difference is like night and day. Last time I was there I saw 2 fat people, in Hong Kong I had to actually work hard to find any at all, I found two, one a very old (sick?) woman......and another tourism (from you know where.....)

I dont believe in statistics.

I dont believe in statistics.

I know, that trend is very much alive in the US, anything that says 'science' or 'math' is like talking about an unicorn

On the other hand........tarot/horoscope/etc is highly regarded @)

So you think ticos eat more fried chicken, cakes and candy than people in the US? Dude, when was the last time you were there? That, burgers and pizza is all they eat.

Traditional tico diet is way healthier than gringo food.

Except no ticos eat this "traditional tico diet", they eat the greasiest fattiest thing they can get their hands on, wash it down with a high sugar beverage and maybe a slice of chocolate birthday cake for dessert.

Having spent several years in both countries, I will say that ticos have a higher percentage of overweight people. Maybe not as many disgusting obese people like you read about in the usa (that's a whole different story), but overweight, yes.

I've even seen a difference in the last 4 years... There used to be hot skinny girls everywhere, now most ticas are muffin tops, and the hot skinny ones are colombian and venezualan imports.

Well most ticas get fat after 25....They ripen early down here...

This is very true, all the worlds hottest people (such as myself) hail from Vancouver.

Thing is Jack has no idea what traditional Gringo food, and the fact that most Ticos cant afford to eat fast food doesnt change the fact that they would toss their picadillo de chayote in the garbage if they could.

I believe it was Phonebook who coined the phrase "Tica Parachute" to describe this phenonenom.

Dude go to Utopia, Prive, Gaira, etc., and take a look around. Hot girls absolutely everywhere. If you´re talking Colombian and Venezuelan then your crowd is not what we would consider average ticos.

I agree, much more obesity now, but that´s the trend worldwide.

I personally would take a good casado with picadillo over any fast food. I probably eat fast food twice a month.

And please tell me what´s traditional gringo diet then. I guess Missouri isn´t like the other places I´ve lived in.

Traditional gringo breakfast: bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles, syrup, hash browns, toast, sausage, grits, ham, cheese.

Traditional tico breakfast: rice and beans, eggs, ham, fried plantains, fried white cheese (which has less calories than mozarella or swiss), sour cream, avocado, and tortillas or bread.
