[quote=JABAROOTOO,302339]It's not the Western Lifestyle so much that needs avoiding.

It is understanding the health risks of many fast foods, which in most cases are simply JUNK

SUGAR and highly refined carbohydrates that convert quickly to sugars.

The other issue for China is the rather sedentary lifestyle that comes with a lack of opportunities to get out into the wide outdoors to get some exercise.

This is one aspect of a Western lifestyle which is a healthy role model.

Another issue is the pace of China's modernisation.  The country has gone in just a few short years from having few electric and  electronic devices to now having the most per capita and the most up to the minute available.

If you ask most of China's youth what hobbies they enjoy you will find the top ranks are usually filed with computer games, surfing the net and for girls it is shopping and all this happens in between chatting on mobiles and listening to MP3 or is it MP4's now.

A whole generation of Chinese missed out on the joys of cassette tapes, videos, CD walkmans, PC's  and went straight into DVD and MP3 or I pods and notebook laptops

Exercise is a bit of a 'dirty' word or at least a very alien concept for a lot of kids and the one child policy encourages over-indulgence by adults and many spoilt children being allowed to EAT ON DEMAND or worse still be stuffed with food by grandparents who sadly were half starved themselves at some time during their lives and do not want to see their precious ones suffer the same fate.
