Submitted by Bill Belew on Tuesday, 7 November 2006No Comment
A Chinese nutritional health expert reported that there are abt. 60 million Chinese who are obese while 24 million are suffering malnutrition and living in abject poverty.
The culprit in Chinese obesity is too much fat and junk food and not enough grains and vegetables says one health official.
Gee, where did China learn those eating habits from?
Not only are Chinese fatter, but blood pressure is rising as are cases of diabetes.
Some estimates have as many as 160 million Chinese with high blood pressure and 20 million with diabetes.
All the while, there is a population the size of Texas that is starving to death.
The government and academic organizations are being called on to educate the masses.
What do you think should be done?
