    Everything in moderation!

    I’m 17kg lighter than when I arrived in HK and around 10kg lighter than when I got married. I attribute that entirely to dispensing with a car from the day I arrived in HK and a much healthier diet. That doesn’t mean I’m not prone to the odd blowout including foods that are ‘bad’ for me, but luckily I don’t have a sweet tooth. I was more a pastry and bread person rather than a burger and dessert person, though I will never turn down mint choc chip ice cream and proper English fat chips (none of these fries bullshit coated in salt). I constantly have to remind my helper not to add salt to my food and throw it out every time I see a new supply. Margarine is on my occasional list though. Nothing like a toasted bacon and Brie sandwich or muffin.

    As to western women and size I’m at a loss. It certainly never seemed that way in the 70s but go back to the UK now or look around HK for expat wives and obesity is a massive issue.

    The question I’ve never quite got to the bottom of is whether the slim Asian waistlines is (unwanted) peer pressure from the husbands or boyfriends or fear of them running after a younger, slimmer model. Indonesian women seem to me to be bigger and obviously from an Indian perspective bigger is perceived to be more attractive in maturer women.

    HK dispelled at least one myth. I assumed all Filipinos were beauties before I lived here permanently.

    Obviously that’s an overgeneralisation but back to margarine. If the OP wants margarine then the OP shall have margarine

    Margarine is in every supermarket and shop selling dairy chilled products. You must be walking round blindfold or never shop. OR ....... Is this humourous intent that I have missed?

    We use Snow Brand ( Wellcome and ParkNShop) which is a Japanese brand far superior to mainstream butter or marg. With no gall bladder, butter and fats can reek havoc with "solids disposal " issues. Snow has never bound me up and tastes really good from the fridge, it being a soft spread product.

    Hope I can get it when we go back to UK.
