As a European I feel I need to nuance you a bit. As blunt and as open as your aunt is few people actually are here. Not in public at least, and not in English. Whenever I'm abroad I love just how openly rude I can be about fat people because nobody speaks Dutch. Some people are actually that blunt but that's certainly not the standard . But we are much more open about what is to be discussed. We talk about obesity, ask the fatties why they got fat and what they are doing about it. And there's loads of government sponsored ads and education to stop childhood obesity. We have it, but it's not as insane as across the pond, thank god
