huge topic:Americans keep getting fatter

[quote=afx114]You also will find many factories in Asia with a mandatory exercise period before the start of the work day.[/quote]

In Singapore, military service is compulsory. Men of fighting age are required to undergo annual check up and are rewarded with a small amount of money for staying fit. Those who don’t stay within fitness range are required to do bootcamp.

On an annual basis, NSmen go through either a high key training or a low key training until they reach the age of 40 or 50 depending on their rank. “High-key” or intensive training involves operations and In-Camp Training (ICT), which last for seven days or longer. “Low-key” training refers to a training duration of six days or less.

They also have a national assessment. Despite the health programs, I still think the people over there are too fat and round. A sign of a rich Asian society. The food there is very greasy.

[quote=flu][quote=jimmyle]I was in Vietnam two years ago and my cousins rewarded their kids (for doing good in school) with KFC foods which suppose to high-end in Vietnam. The kids were collecting KFC coupons in newspapers and got very excited. The reason they don’t go to KFCs too often is because it is expensive, imagine when it becomes affordable like in the US.[/quote]

In asia, those western fast food restaurants in China are considered high end actually, because the price people pay there is comparable to the same amount you spend in the U.S….They usually aren’t adjusted for the local wages….So folks in China spend roughly $3-4 USD for a burger and fries too.[/quote]

Yes, I read that it is the upper economic classes in China who are experiencing the obesity issues, because they are the only ones who can afford the fast food. As the economic upswing in China spreads across a wider range of its citizens, consumption of fast food increases, as does the problem with obesity.

I don’t know about now, but in the early days of fast food in China (late 80s & early 90s), well-to-do families would have their wedding receptions in McDonalds and KFC “dining rooms”. It was considered a sign of wealth and prestige.
