Ian Birrell meets the people fighting to turn the tide.<\/h4>\n<aside class=\"article__aside\">When the first McDonald\u2019s restaurant opened almost two decades ago in Johannesburg, a teenage boy named Thando Tshabalala was among the thousands who stood in line patiently waiting to try one of those famous burgers. \u201cWe had seen this place in every movie we ever watched, and it seemed to be mentioned in every song, so I had to try it for myself,\u201d he said.Given such enthusiasm, it was hardly surprising South Africa proved to be fertile territory for the burger chain, breaking expansion records with 30 outlets opening in under two years. Today the company operates more than 200 restaurants across the country. Yet when arch-rival Burger King finally entered the market last year it was greeted with similar excitable scenes as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizcommunity.com\/Article\/196\/18\/111802.html\">almost 5,000 people descended on its launch branch in Cape Town<\/a>, some even sleeping on the street to ensure they got their hands on a Whopper. \u201cWe did not expect the demand to be so great,\u201d its chairman confessed later.<\/p>\n<p>Tshabalala, now a successful 33-year-old corporate trainer, still enjoys fast food. Indeed, when we met he was eating a steak sandwich in the food court of a smart shopping mall, sitting among scores of shoppers and families feasting on curries, pizzas, fried fish and the ubiquitous chips. But that skinny teenager has grown into a five-and-a-half-foot-tall man weighing almost 17 stone \u2013 and today he struggles to find clothes to fit his inflated body and complains seats are becoming too small for comfort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be honest, I feel rather self-conscious about my size,\u201d Tshabalala told me with a rueful smile, adding that part of the problem was spending so much time on the road with his job. \u201cThere is this saying in South Africa that if you have a one-pack belly, like a beer belly, you must have lots of money but if you have a six-pack there is something wrong. But I know it is not really a sign of success to have a big belly.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Reference:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The Overseas Development Institute\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.odi.org\/future-diets\">Future Diets<\/a>\u00a0report.<\/li>\n<li><em>Lancet<\/em>\u00a0paper on the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(14)60460-8\/abstract\">global, regional, and national prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults from 1980 to\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(14)60460-8\/abstract\">2013<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 750px; border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/online.visual-paradigm.com\/share\/book\/south-africas-obesity-crisis-the-shape-of-things-to-come-zjknkx525?enforceShowPromotionBar=true\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9022,"template":"","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Create UML diagrams online.
