I'm american but I have heard Japan is very anti-fat.

In the Philippines, the older folks are shameless shitlords and shitladies. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, and parents would comment on one's weight gain in lieu of a greeting. My father is one of the best shitlords I know. An example: My sister is fat. She just got engaged and of course, we're all happy for her. But my father couldn't resist saying, "Maybe you'll think about losing weight more seriously because who would want to look like an elephant in their wedding dress?" Way to go, pops.
But sadly, the obese population of my country is steadily growing.

I live in Guernsey and pretty much all of my friends seem to be shitlords, but i don't know if it's commonplace everywhere on the island

I visited Spain last year, the only planets I saw were tourists. But there were quite a few overweight locals. With all that glorious fresh food and fruit, it must be hard to get fat.

China. Big time. and it starts really early in their life, so they don't even care when their parents call them fat in front of their friends./so

Ha ha it's common in almost every country except the U.S. And some countries in Europe.

I had a fat cow-worker in Taiwan who said she ordered in a restaurant. They told her she'd ordered too much. She said "Well that's up to me isn't it?". They brought her her food and said "You shouldn't eat so much, you're fat".

It's slowly going away, but in Australia, it's not really looked down upon. You're considered a lazy dole bludger or a boring office worker.
I remember at school we only had two kids who were fat. We made fun of them relentlessly, and when they went to the teachers for help, the teachers consoled them like they're paid to do, but also said "You should consider losing weight". They also banned junk food from our lunch boxes.

Fuck. I work with two huge mother fuckers and its hilarious watching the old farts make fun of them behind their backs and pwollw confusing them.

I wouldn't ever want to be fat in Oz. The men and the women are so damn beautiful. Also I think you guys are outdoorsy and much more active.

It's so EASY to be an out doorsy person here. It is literally the middle of winter, and you wanna know what I am wearing? Cotton shirt and long pants with socks. In the colder places, you barely need more than an extra jacket. I've been skiing here, and I ended up having to take off the cold weather stuff because it was so hot under the sun. In summer, just go outside when the sun is down like everyone else.
We have public well maintained hiking trails, amazing public exercise spaces, SPECIALLY in low soceioeconomic areas, foot paths, and amazing free programs to help you lose weight with your FREE doctor and FREE nutritionist and FREE exercise program with FREE trainers.
But what do these fat fucks do? They complain that it's not 'accessible'. The claim that some of the cheapest produce in the country is 'too expensive', or that they 'don't like it'.
Being fat is a waste in Australia. And drop bears go for fatties first.
