Obesity: China's growing epidemic

[guitarhamster102]

haha i bet most of them are spoiled brats, as most are probably the only child in the family, so the parents treat them like kings and queens. However, if you go to Korea, Japan, or Taiwan, obese people are almost nonexistent.

[Ultimateviewer134]

they shud open up hundreds of fat camps here in the US

[LeetWarfare]

No there are lots of fat people in other countries, USA is a new country, so they were not the first fatties!!!! You need to think there.

[slickmoves1977]

you cyber attack us so we retaliate with mcdonalds war fare

[electriceye131]

Its quite ironic that these Chinese city kids are getting overweight when in actuality, most of the the kids in their country are in the farms and factories sweating and breaking backs and having to work for their food. Communism, Socialism, Monarchies, Democracy, its all fucking the same when it comes in the end..

[BrutalAggressions]

haha, Fat Asians!

[FransisR]

better overweight then underweight as in India

[lustcorp]

Whatever happened to "starving Chinese"?

Working out is not enough to lose weight without controlling the food intake.

Doctor's order: eat 8 ounces of food every 3 hours. No sugary product.

[harvey0921]

When Chinese people get wealthier, they eat more and get fat. But compare to japan, they are fit doesn't mean that their food IS healthy and Chinese food isn't. Is just because most of Chinese don't have a excising habit while eating a lot.

[iTouchin]

I am reading all these comments about being AGAINST closing fast food places but all in all what is the harm of closing these industries (apart from millions of job loss) but yeah wasn't really needed from the start and shouldn't be needed now actually nvm its needed more than ever haha what with the low rate of employment and everything :D

[darkstar3x16]

It has nothing to do with McDonald!

there's a 1 child per couple rule in some parts of China and their new wealth means they're spoiling their kids.

[DisturbedPervert]

Pan Lei, it's not high blood pressure that worries your mother, it's you being too fat to find a husband

[darkstar3x16]

Strangely enough Japan doesn't seen to have that much of an obesity problem and they've had McDonalds there for ages :P

Chinese foods probably a little unhealthier though, now that they're wealthier they're eating more and exercising less.

[BanelingBomber]

Fast Food is not the blame, it the persons fault. I eat fast food, but instead of being a lazy fatso, i do exercise, join a sports team and get active. PS (I'm 14) The Obese people are just too lazy and retarded to control themselves, but I can and I am as healthy as i can be. SO lets not eliminate or blame fast food on Obesity, but the people who cannot maintain a healthy Lifestyle!

[athame57]

shark fin soup the yellow peril

[cultusdeus]

@spring4evaful --yeah, they are, but McDonald's and KFC and so forth can change things fast when coupled with sudden wealth and tons of excessive studying during the week in school. High school in Asia is particularly stressful, and here you see the effects.

[KaBoYan55]

I can't remember the amount of times I hear that Chinese don't have weight problems, because they walk(not anymore) and they eat healthy(never true). This obesity problem well be a shock to many patriotic Chinese I'm sure.

[MrBushiman]

The whole world is becoming fat. It is just because of the types of jobs we do now. Everyone sits at an office or an assembly line not everyone is harvesting corn anymore.

[hardassteel]

China is really secretive about their problems. They rarely advertise their problems about poverty and inequities. So, this so-called "obesity problem" that China claims to have is to boast how rich and fat they are. They are jealous that Americans are rich and fat. If they thought it was a "real" problem, they would not advertise it to the world because of embarrassment. Having a fat country symbolizes power and wealth.

[darkstar3x16]

Fat people are taking over the world if I were skinny I'd be afraid

Just kidding

[RiquinhoNojento]

just for curiosity.. Top 5 fattest countries in the world (according to World Health Organization):

1) Nauru

2) Micronesia

3) Cook Islands

4) Tonga

5) Niue

[RiquinhoNojento]

Damnit ... it's global. In Brazil too, now 60% of Brazilians  are overweight (according to IBGE/2010) :O

[darkstar3x16]

I don't think it is just McDonalds but the lifestyle change and having more money.

[lucy26687]

I just hope they don't gain all the weight back when they return home from the training programme...

[vinsong]

McDonald's. It destroys nations.

[TheUnknownGrower]

@vinsong no its burger kong

[AFGsoldier72]

when they come back home, they will act the same as before with al the fat food and lazyness.

[DoubleGlog]

That second kid being interviewed is 'fat'?

[VJDTropical]

America didn't ruin China. Fast food did. Fast food ruined America. Now it will ruin China =)

[KyoneChan]

The coach is sexy..

America fucks up everything ! World-wide fast food should be eliminated.

[maddooggg]

@KyoneChan fatass its because youre lazy and inactive and you eat sugar... STFU

[KoolJayJ]

America fucks up everything

[terajasoos]

i am not saying that exercise doesnt count---it sure does help in loozing weight--but more important is what type of food u eat---i have seen ppl who exericise every days for an hr strenously, but eat junk food like mcdonalds or pizza hut and still fail to looze any weight while on the other hand i c those ppl who mostly eat healthy home cooked food most of the time but exercise every other day but low in time and intensity, yet looze weight over time and live healthy lives.

[Lonelyangel3263]

Its time eliminate fast food world wide who's with me

[Kra7as]

@Lonelyangel3263

I'm against you. I'm underweight and I think it's time to pay more attention to skinny people. Fat people aren't the only sufferers in the weight department !

[ApeOnEgoTrip]

@Lonelyangel3263 Unemployment would sky rocket... As much as I hate fast food and would never eat it myself it does create a lot of jobs.

[TheKarisean]

@Lonelyangel3263

Just because some people are irresponsible enough to eat so much fast food shouldn't bar the others from having in moderation. Just because one child died after is World of Warcraft account was taken away doesn't mean they should shut down the entire site for people who don't go crazy when something like that happens.

As your own person, especially if you're a parent, you have the RESPONSIBILITY to make sure you and/or the people dependent on you don't eat in excess.

[yourallbrainwashed]

@Lonelyangel3263 your an idiot!

[ByronMH]

@Lonelyangel3263 err so healthy people who eat fast food occasionally suffer because you want to eliminate fast food?..

[Tiberiusize]

@Lonelyangel3263

Yeah, like that's gonna ever happen.

[Omniback20]

@Lonelyangel3263 Hell no. I love my mcdonalds.

[grantsdaman01]

going militant is always the best way to whip em in shape, run em til they collapse, thats how the world needs to see this, get a marine DI in there and they'll be decathlon fit in no time.

[XkobyX]

Looks like people will finaly stop saying asians are the prettyiest people in the world lol.. Europeans are! The great motherland of russia.. Serbia.. Urkrain.. as for the problem.. blame corrperate scum dishing out the fattyiest unhealthy food in the world.. could get more neutrients from a slauterd deer in the oregon woods in just one bite then from 10 happy meals..

[connroe98k]

The bigger a nation gets the fatter and lazy it can get. Fat and laziness, didn't just begin in America. Look at the romanians, toward the end they got lazy. Im not trying to defend America, just putting the idea out there.

[bootstoots]

its interesting that in america pan lei wouldnt be considered super fat

[Frances3654]

2:25

look at the guy in the right-hand corner

[gregthegooner]

the kids in this video have got more chins than the chinese telephone directory

[gregthegooner]

i tried calling the chinese fat line ,but i kept winging the wong number

[itpaystobeme]

American fast-food does it

[China8694]

rich idiots back in china are thinking they're cool because they are eating in a Mcdonalds or KFC

i mean i am chinese and i went back. EVEN MY MOM SAYS"eat this you need to gain weight" im like WTF if i get fat i wont make the Highschool varsity basketball, but still she's like your too skinny your making me look poor

[KaizerDraco]

these kids need to get lessons severely nailed into them

ppl are reluctant, some even unable to learn until some one really puts straight cold facts into their faces

life is not a ball where you can throw it away and pick it up again

i suggest putting these kids into army training camps and see for themselves what is the accurate definitions of steel balls and iron wills

these kids are natural bullet proof soldiers, i really question whether the mighty Spartans were muscular or...FAT?

Lmao

[MonsterMo44]

what the hell were u babbling on about?

[KaizerDraco]

you dont read much do you?

do i really need to say things like "these kids are uber lazy!" for you to understand?

what the hell were you questioning about?

[MonsterMo44]

i say babble because you don't sound like you know what you are talking about

so you are just writing down random thoughts as they pop into your head..

"babble babble fat kids.... babble babble military... babble babble nails.... babble babble sparta!"

[KaizerDraco]

i'd say you dont even know what you are questioning me about, kids only understand easy things put in simple syntax, when you say things that require some thinking, they just fail

read my comment again and view the video again and try to find some thoughts in your head.

and mr.babbling, if you dont comprehend something entirely dont call it babbling, because americans are really good at it such as yourself

or maybe i hurt your feelings when i commented on this video?

how much do you weigh?

[MonsterMo44]

first, i understand the video and what you are saying but it's just so ridiculous that it might as well be rambling.

you say that because these children are fat and lazy they need to be thrown into a military camp? as if totalitarianism solves all issues and doesnt breed any new ones

before you start hurtling random insults hoping to draw blood

i should probably let you in on some info,

1 I'm not American

2 I'm 6'0" 155 pounds

3 stereotypes are some the weakest forms of insult

now, try again

[KaizerDraco]

lazy is one thing,

a respect for self worth and values is another,

these kids must learn how to come back to a proper lifestyle and regain their chance to walk the society as a productive member

laughing and joking....how much inner belief and determination do you examine on these kids? not much i am afraid

obesity is not just in china, grown fat recently, but all around the world,

it is not so much of laziness, but a precarious lack of initiatives that submits to problems and challenges

[MonsterMo44]

ahh see now we are getting somewhere.

i agree completely with you on why these children are they way they are

i just don't think boot camp is the way to go.

at least not for all of them.

every case is individual and a lot of the responsiblity falls on the parent to try to figure out what initially caused this motivational decline in their children and correct it.

sadly most parents aren't up to this task so they spend thousands of dollars so that someone else can fix their problems

[MonsterMo44]

in the end a lot of the kids won't be thankful. but feel betrayed and spiteful towards their parents.

its just my personal opinion but i think A LOT of issues in society can be solved simply if people took the time to talk and listen to each other patiently and worked together to come to a mutual compromise

[KaizerDraco]

ppl must train these kids how to think for themselves, not just telling them, "you need to eat less"

parental care is half, personal choices is the other, in the end, how you walk down the path is what actually matters

by seeing how normal ppl live and behave, i think these kids will better off handling some responsibilities for themselves

kids, shouldnt blame their parents for anything, they gave you the chance to be here, thus you should make something out of it

btw, ur in arts program?

[MonsterMo44]

i see your point

and yeah i'm going to school to be a computer artist

[KaizerDraco]

thats good

[RyanBlockb5]

The US exports it's fatty fast food culture and China exports everything else

The World Is Balanced

[BayAreaBiker2001]

I'm obese, and I actually enjoy physical activity. I am American, and I bike like the Dutch, FCOL!

[AtlantiXYL]

when China's style change, martial art slowly disappear because people focus more on entainment, money..... they ARE GETTING BAD>

[Musicman4Christ]

Check out my vid "The Face of Obesity." I can totally relate to what's goin' on in China.

[RIEKSONE]

these fat fucks are probably children of the communist party

[spartaninian]

Racist piece of shit. U shouldnt be talking though since u live in the U.S and u are part of fattest country in the world.

[RIEKSONE]

wtf i never said represented the us

and dont understand how any i have said being racist

think about

1 billion of china population is still dirt poor

the only onewho can afford this treatment are members of the communist party

[GotKn1fe]

And people like you should grow the fuck up and get an education..oh yeah thats right you dropped out

[RaptormanMT]

McDonalds... fast food chain, or secret research product from the Cold War designed to make Communists fat and lazy.

You decide.

[kioisursktitoeiru]

me being from morocco such a shame almost 45 % is overweight and 22 % is obese

[ZB90]

Who needs Pork fried rice when you can have McBurgers instead?

[hungaryrulz]

So sad McDonalds got to the Chinese quicker than the good eating ethics.

[beckpod1]

China has learned bad habits from america!

[Sakuradroppsu]

True! Chinese don't need to be eating American food.

[IanJulia328]

@beckpod1 dont worry ， they are minority......!

[maddooggg]

@beckpod1 its not Americas habits you dumbass!

[Tiberiusize]

@beckpod1

No shit sherlock.

[bcroger2]

@beckpod1

Retard, stop blaming everything on America.
