That's how many Chinese there were when I awoke this morning. I'd personally give a great deal to see a mere 1 out of 5 American waddlers sloshing their suet through town, but I guess the Western lifestyle is slowly but certainly pulling a Rosie on the yellow peril, and that's good news for everyone but the fat ass Chinese.
Asia has never had anything close to decent health care. Chinese "medicine" was historically worse than what even the Japanese offered before science proved to them that sticking needles in someone's eye to stop the pain from a stubbed big toe wasn't quite what the Dr. ordered. None of the Asian races were vivisectionists, preferring to focus upon the spirit instead of having a peek inside. Fatter and fatter Chinese means more money for the drug manufacturer's and doctors and nurses and the ubiquitous health care providers.
So we import health. Then of course the lawyers follow. In 20 years, tops, China's obesity problems quadruple because being healthy really only matters to old people, and by then our McDonalds and Systers R Us will have such a strong hold on the Chinese way of life that it's all we can do to keep up with the demands for more and more pills and doctors and nurses and even health care providers.
Then the lawyers sue everyone for everything. The demand kickstarts admissions to law school faster than The Paper Chase.
Trust me. Poor people PLUS fast food means big trouble in big China.
