"Little more than 20 years
ago many people, even in china's richest cities were struggling to feed themselves;
now they are struggling to lose weight," writes Paul French and Matthew
Crabbe in their book “Fat China: How expanding waistlines are changing a
Nation."
With economy blooming means
rising income and better living standard, along with one-child policy since
1970 means that even middle class family can fulfill most of the demand of
their one child. A single child with richer parents and grandparents and apart
from them comes aunts and uncles all keen to spoil them. Some of the experts have
even described this as the "Little Emperor "syndrome. Walking along
the street of Chinese towns, Restaurant and fast food like McDonald or Kentucky
Fried Chicken are on rife.
"Obesity is a problem for
the wealthy, newly emergent middle-class consumers, “writes French and Crabbe.
