I reject your assumption that "This is no one’s fault, and it’s everywhere, china is getting fatter than most countries now."

It's the food industrial complex's fault, along with many others (politicians, individuals without self control, etc)

I lived in rural Colombia for 4 years. People had access to the junk food, but it wasn't consumed very much because the veggies and meat are all produced locally and super tasty and cheap. And the local dishes were extremely meat and veggie based.

Oh, and most people know how to cook there.

It's not a fact of human nature to be unhealthy. It's a fact of modern culture.
