Lack of education?
Poor quality of food?
Lack of available exercise facilities?
Sheer greed?
What do you think?
Fried Rice said:here in China we only have obesity issue once we start to have access to your western 'food'. It really is disgusting - you dont even know what part of animal you are eating. It is old meats, flooded with oil and chemicals. You wonder whay you all so fat ? Rice is the heathliest food on the planet which is why we are a stong and heathly race - well until recently anyway. I think in the future the only record left of USA dominence will be the Golden Arches !!
Fried Rice tastes so much better
Pacridge said:Man this has to be a cultural thing. I have to tell you I've done my share of traveling around Asia, about 7 countries in Asia. Granted never Red China but Kowloon (sp?) and Hong Kong. And I got to say some of the dishes I found rather disgusting, fish heads and stuff I've never seen. I certainly couldn't tell what part of the animal anyone was eating. Got to be a cultural thing. I guess what ever you grow up with looks right to you. There used to be a cool Aussie bar in Kowloon called "Ned Kelly's Last Stand." Good place to get cold beer and stuff your American face with a burger. No Fried Rice though.
Fried Rice said:Well Hong Kong is quite western as well. We Chinese eat many body parts and always know what we are eating - it is essential part of our cusine. But what about the "disgusting parts" you eat in the "cultured west" pigs feet, tripe, black pudding, hamburgers, processed meats - that is much worse than any asian food. And ot makes you fat.
Fried Rice is so heathy !!
Pacridge said:I've never had pigs feet, never even seen tripe and I have no idea what black pudding is?? I'm guessing I'm not that cultured. Personally I eat a lot of Elk. But only because I hunt it myself. Other then that I like seafood. Salmon not so much. But calms and oysters are good. On a low tide around here any moron can get dinner for five easy. Even me.
Fried Rice said:My American friends tell me they eat a lot of tripe in USA.
Fried Rice is not a fan of tripe, certainly never talks it.
Naughty Nurse said:Black Pudding is, I'm sure, British. It is totally unhealthy and absolutely delicious.
If you want gross, try chittling!
Rice is very healthy, but less so if it's fried!
Fried Rice said:Well that is true Naughty Nurse - good job i am slim hip Chinese !!
Fried Rice actually usually eats boiled rice (dont tell anyone !!)
It's got to be a combination of not enough exercise and junk food. When I was working, I used to bike to work about 30 miles round trip three times a week, and go for recreational rides on Sunday. I was in good shape, but still twenty pounds overweight. Years before that I was called up for the Korean War and spent it on Stewart AFB near NYC. I was overweight then too. At the time I rode a motorcyle which was forbidden on the base, and I got around by walking very rapidly. After six months of this, I had lost forty pounds and was just right. Why I lost all that weight walking and not so much biking, I couldn't say. It's a bit of a puzzle. These days, the nearest store is more than a mile away. Forget walking.Urethra Franklin said:What's the cause of so much obesity in the USA?

Pacridge said:Ok I'm buying the slim, though obviously I've never seen you. But Hip? Jury's still out, jury's still out.:rofl
Elk's still best. Low fat, high protein.
Fried Rice said:Pacridge i mean my hip is slim - i actually wear quite terrible clothing and never cut my hair !!
Pacridge said:I see. What awful deeds did your clothes do? I never cut your hair either.

Fried Rice said:Its terrible confession - loose all my money playing mahjong and cards. Nothing left for clothing !!
Fried Rice - can just afford to buy some
Pacridge said:I never understood mahjong. Blackjack. Go to Reno twice a year play for hours always break about even. Never up real big, never down any either. Used to be nice you could go and get all kinds of Comps just for playing. Not so much any more.
Fried Rice said:Mahjong is easy game - very fast moving - so money goes quick if you loose !! Nice part is winner has to pay for all the drinks
vauge said:My dad is just full of wisdom.
He always told me never to gamble with a drunk Chinaman, because you will loose.
