More Chinese Overweight or Obese

Fatty foods, increased use of automobiles and a drop off in cycling all have contributed to some unwelcome side effects in China. The latest government figures, from 2002, show roughly one fifth of the population is either overweight or obese. Sam Beattie reports for VOA from Tianjin.

@advancedtotal no...i haven't seen that many "fat" chinese (women). I was thinking that some thicker chinese women would be something somewhat of a rarity. They'd probably even be more appealing to some people.

[advancedtotal]

@ankokugaiBOSS : I'm just surprised you are dishing advice to fat chinese, chinese women etc...

[ankokugaiBOSS]

@advancedtotal what's wrong with what I said?

[advancedtotal]

it's all good, i don't care about the dudes, they can practice kung fu to shed some unsightly flab...but the chinese girls need some more meat on their bones like the Korean honeys. It'll be good for the chinese sisters to gain a few pounds.
