Funny. Most of the Chinese girls (even though they are 20+, still look like teenagers) I know have eating disorders and are very very thin. My coworker though Bulima was normal and said most of her friends throw up after meals... I guess we'll have a bunch of fatties and girls with eating disorders walking around China. It's not McD's fault for all the Chinese fatties. It's no shocker that their food is bad for you. If you don't like it, don't eat there. Plain and simple.

How ironic that back in the olden days, Chinese loved to eat fat meat. In fact, fat was always preferred over lean. People nowadays know better about the dangers of fat meat but it is now that they are starting to get fat... Oh btw, Mexico is a lost cause.

Oddly, when I go into McDonald's every now and then to get coffee I don't see any fat Chinese. Usually the fatter people I've seen around here have been in small snack shops and buffets.

I'm pretty sure that McDonalds used to be advertised as a 'nutricious' diet. It's shocking the sheer of these places that exist in Shanghai. Often you can find two McD's within five or ten minutes of each other in this town. Chinese kids - all they do is study, sitting down at a desk all day and most of the evening and chowing on garbage food.
