China’s Expanding Borders
Make no mistake, the average Chinese keeps a very trim figure, but there are those here that are passing up the low-fat “鲜得味” (Delicious Flavor?) tuna and opting for the less-healthy foods instead. With the likes of Colonel Sanders and his Kentucky Fried Chicken capturing Chinese territory faster than the Imperial Japanese Army ever could, 60 million Chinese citizens are already obese (equivalent to the population of France).
While China still hardly rivals the corpulence of Western nations such as the U.S., barring the introduction of a draconian “One-Child, One-Children’s Meal” policy, it seems that the Chinese population can only continue to grow in more ways than one.
