Fat In China Dan Ackman, 10.13.04, 9:44 AM ET The new statistic derives from China's first comprehensive national survey on diet, nutrition and diseases, which was conducted by the Ministry of Health. It found that 7.1% of Chinese adults were obese and 22.8% were overweight, Wang Longde, China's vice minister of health, told a news conference. He added that an estimated 200 million of China's population of around 1.3 billion were overweight. In the U.S., the obesity rate is 30.5% and about 65% are considered overweight, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. With the U.S. population at 294.5 million, it looks like China has edged past the U.S. in its number of overweight folks, as well. continued............. forbes.com Its shocking how fat Americans are.......look at the difference between the Chinese and us. Less than 1/3 of the Chinese are overweight vs over 2/3 of Americans. In fact, nearly 1/3 of Americans are obese! Scary! We need to start losing some weight!
