Thai Monks too Fat Government urges diet and exercise

[Rockheart]

So 40% of Thailand's Monks are considered obese and the Government spent $8.5 million US on their health last year.
Since there is over 300,000 monks in the country at any given time, this makes for a large number of chunky monks.

Devotees of Bhuddishm are urged to bring Monks food and drink, which is not suppose to be refused by the monks.
As a result they spend most of their days eating and sitting in quiet contemplation which is a recipe for bad health.
High blood pressure, diabetes and other ailments are very high among these religious icons.

The community and government are all trying to promote a healthier lifestyle among those in the temples.
