Food is cheap in those western countries. No wonder there are so many obese people there. There's also a lot to choose from.

I don't think the average indian understands that our so called "supermarkets" don't come anywhere close to Wal-mart and other american supermarkets.

Downsize = more number of chocalates ! It will not make much difference.
