We are what we eat?

Just got back from Thailand. Everyone has clear silky skin, slender firm bodies, and generally good attitudes well into old age. Didn't see a McDonald's or anything like it the whole time I was there (5 weeks - 9 different towns and cities). The typical diet consists mostly of fresh fish or chicken (usually spicy hot), rice, some vegetables (also often spicy hot) and fruit eaten in relatively smaller portions but with somewhat greater frequency than in the U.S. Processed foods were available but were not a staple like they are here.

The message seems clear to me: We're not supposed to be eating pigs, cows or processed foods. Does anyone have another explanation as to why these people are so physically fit and beautiful?
