    Pretending not to notice that fat people are fat is unique to Western culture.

    Nobody in Africa would see a problem with this. I bet Asia is the same.

      I don’t know about unique, but you’re right, it’s not universal. In some cultures it’s not seen as a bad thing, either, because there’s recent memory of famine being a regular thing.
