High fat meat is usually cheaper here than lean cuts, and organ meat is even cheaper so i'm teaching myself how to cook these, i eat chicken livers regularly, and am currently focussing on how to cook beef heart, (tried yesterday got the taste right, but the meat was too tough next time i'll cut them thinner.) The village i live in also has a weekly market where i can cheaply buy fish and vegetables.
As for how i got into paleo, i was already looking into healthier eating for a few years and concluded most of what i was taught was wrong, i was already following some of the rules of paleo like limiting gluten as much as possible, stopped eating potatoes, pasta and rice with every meal. Then i stumbled on a beginners guide to paleo, and after reading that i decided to try it for a bit. (I had heard about is before that but thought it would be too complicated, luckily it isn't.)
As for the question about obesity and food based diseases, it's not in the news here that often but minor health issues and light overweight are very common, moderate overweight is also not too uncommon, and when you pay attention obese people aren't too hard to find in busy places.
As for comparing to the us... I have never been there, so i can't answer that as news and internet are often exaggerated, if they are correct you have more of a problem but here we should do something too. I'd say we have the benefit that for most people everything is nearby and cycling is normal. I cycle around 120 km a week (75 miles)
