It has to do with the stigma of poor previous generation which were slim. Fat equal rich, time.
The new generations force fed the children to look rich. I saw in Indonesia the Chinese family eating lunch while a servant ran behind a kid force-feeding him as he played.
The kid just wanted to, naturally, burn the calories, but the had someone force feeding food down his throat.
If you have a body made in Puerto Rico, for example, and you bring that body to the US, the family balloons. That DNA was made to eat low calories, mostly carbs.
Once they get to a place where they can gorge as much carbs as they can, they balloon.
These Chinese are transitioning from a historic diet of carbs, which was expensive, to a now affordable carb intake and they don't know where the limits are.
Die younger. Girls will refuse them, unless he is loaded with money.
And even money may not help the guy get a woman.
When I worked in Bangkok, early 2000s, i met a restauranteur. Middle class Thai-Chinese. She was worried she was getting old. She was 30, and at that age most her friends had got married.
Problem, her father was trying to arrange a mate for her. All rich. All fat. And she hated fat men.
Beautiful as she was, she could get a line of men to date, but was afraid of her father. |
