The reason they are not obese:

* smaller portions
* lots of low fat *natural* food like fish, veggies, fruits, and rice
* sweets (desserts) are a rare treat
* most people are active
* they don't diet
* they don't snack

I'm talking based on experience living in a village in Asia for nearly 10 years, where people are very active every day. City folks are not as active, and some of them are starting to face problems of being overweight, especially now that they are being introduced to Western food like McDonald's and Dunkins Donut!
