You have to look long and hard to find one. People here are just NOT overweight. While appearance is important here and for the most part people dress pretty well, I don’t think the the lack of fat is due to Bogotanos trying to be thin. It probably has a lot more to do with just natural diet and lifestyle choices.
In the school where I teach, of almost 900 students, there are maybe three who are overwieght. Take a random 900 US students and what would that figure be? One difference between our students and most in the US is that in my school, kids get an hour of physical education or sports almost every day, and I know that in Palm Beach County, Florida, where I moved from, students get maybe 20-30 minutes of PE every week. So, that might account for part of it.
