Go look at US movies from the '40s, and see how then everybody is.
China has a recent history of food shortages. That's why the younger people are so much taller than their grandparents. The idea of eating all the way to obesity is repellant, a sign of ill health and lack of self control.
The Chinese are getting fat, it's not as bad as here but the middle class kids have a fair few squishy little balls amongst them compared to how they were even 10 years ago.
Can confirm. I adopted my son from China. While most people were slender there were plenty of overweight people and a few legitimately obese people that we saw. We only ever saw one disabled person the whole time we were there. My son was from an orphanage and weighed 26 lbs at 15 months.
