[quote=CANADAGUY,252407]>> Modern lives of average Chinese have been under the strong influence of Western culture or Western style of living. It's no longer surprising to see the whole families dining out at McDonald's and KFC. Jeans is popular with people from all walks of life. 
It seems to me that Chinese living habits are being westernized too much. Although Kypling's ideas has left too far behind the times, should we adopt a totally westernized living style.<<

When I was in China this summer I had a most wonderful time.
I took in many differences between the Eastern and Western cultures and most I viewed in a positive light.

I was quite disappointed, though not surprised, when I saw some “Western” products and services that were being openly promoted in China. McDonald's and KFC restaurants and Coca Cola etc. are big hits with the Chinese, but they don’t seem to be aware of how unpopular and unhealthy these foods are to Westerners “in the know”.

The tide is changing in the West as more and more Westerners are learning how unhealthy and harmful these foods are and students are being educated more and more today about this. There is actually a big obesity problem in America and much of it can be traced to the regular consumption of these unhealthy foods.

So of all the possible restaurants and foods we could be enticing our Eastern brothers with, it is a real shame that we are exporting such garbage, and an even greater shame that it’s being embraced so heartily.
