>Why are Chinese people all slim and healthy looking when their food is a bunch of sugary fried crap?
Obesity in China has actually markedly increased in the past several decades, with a near-perfect correlation to the decrease in carbohydrate and rice consumption and an increase in consumption of dietary fat, meat and junk food.

I hope you don't need me to explain that the reason the traditional diets of Asia keep people lean is that they are high in carbohydrates and low in fat, animal products and junk food.

It's interesting that you talk about "sugary fried crap". Americans are actually so delusional when it comes to nutrition that they think adding a pinch of sugar to a sauce is what makes fried foods unhealthy and fattening.

Always feel bad about making people look so silly.

Prevalence of diabetes in Singapore has increased from 1.9% in 1975 to 11.3% in 2010. So immediately you can be pretty sure that the traditional high-carb rice-based diet known from the 50s is not a culprit here. When Singaporeans are a high-carb diet, diabetes was rare. The same is true for China by the way.

18.3% of the Singaporean population are obese and 37% have a moderate high BMI of over 23. Your claim that there aren't lots of fatasses in Singapore has no basis in fact.

In 2004, how many people responded that they visit a Western fast food restaurant more than once a week? Oh, only 90%, I guess that can't be the problem.

How many carbs are Singaporeans consuming? 50%. That's right, 50%, the same amount as Americans. Fat intake is 34%. Same as Americans. You know what a high carb diet is? The Japanese got 80% of their energy from carbs in the 1950s. If you have documentation of an diabetes epidemic in 1950s Japan please show it to me.

I almost feel bad about making you look so stupid, almost.
