A few decades ago, I was made to believe that putting on extra weight was a sign of good living. People that were overweight or obese were admired, and some even spent money on medications that would simply make them gain weight. In certain parts of Ghana women are expected to put on weight after delivery. A husband whose wife does not gain some weight after delivery may be blamed for not taking good care of his wife! In other parts of Africa good living is synonymous with overweight. But is obesity really a sign of good living?
