HONG KONG - Nearly one in every five of China's more than 1.3 billion people are overweight or obese and the problem is getting worse among children, especially boys, according to a study.
The study, to be published in the Aug. 19 issue of the British Medical Journal, found that 10 million children from the ages of 7 to 18 were overweight in 2000, up 28 times from 1985.
Four million children were obese in that same age group in 2000, four times more than in 1985.

You get more money, you buy more food, you get fat. The US did it and still does it. That is a serious health concern that needs to be nipped in the bud immediately. Having 300 million overweight people will seriously strain their health care system just like it is here in the united states (and we have one of the least efficient health care systems in the developed world)
