Also keep in mind that there is a huge social inequity in Brazil, and upper class women are normally nicer (most hit the gym regularly), whereas obesity epidemy has hit hard the poorer, and the 20 yo ones you are talking probably belong to the latter.
I've recently came back to Brazil, after many years of Europe, and I can confirm the obesity epidemic. But I think it has gone well beyond the poorer class. As soon as I landed at the São Paulo airport to get my connection, I started noticing the ridiculous quantity of fat people around me, but men more than women. They say 1 in 5 Brazilians are obese (a growth of 60% compared to ten years ago) and around 54% are in the overweight category. Depressing!
I don't think so. Maybe in São Paulo but not Rio.
I still find UK worse in term of obesity.
