Fruits while travelling

For the last few months, i have been acutely aware that overseas travel and everyday eating can leave one obese and puffy in the face(depending on where you are), pimples etc.... In australia, food tends to be rich in starch and sugar. In the americas, food tend to be more healthy than australia and if you watch what you eat, its not so bad but american food(i find) tend to contain the unhealthy stuff like high corn frutose syrup and sodium. In asia, servings tend to be smaller but can be oily or fried.

In australia, fruits offering tend to be similar like rock melon, honey dew, watermelon, occasional pineapple but rarely oranges(cut). Salads can sometimes contain the unhealthy stuff like unhealthy cheese and rich dressings.

Im interested what are the common fruit offerings in the countries you visit and what are the hidden unhealthy stuff in foods in the places you frequent.

Im sure this would help those of us keen to avoid obesity or reduce it and in these depressing economic times, sometimes the healthy stuff can be cheaper.
