Most Chinese people live in staggering poverty despite China having the fastest growing "middle class" in the world. Their main diets being: rice, vegetables and fish. Other meats traditionally were expensive and only utilized on special occasions. Before or after hours/close to closing, when the workers of your local Chinese joint are having family meal, look on their plates. It'll always be vegetable fry or soup with a large bowl of white rice.

The differences between Chinese formula and formula made in normal civilizations is that Melamine isn't routinely used in milk powder products here, poisoing and kills tens of thousands of people, including infants. That being said, most Chinese people are poor, and survive on diets comprised almost entirely of rice and vegetables.

Despite the poverty, potential for being poisoned to death is incentive enough, apparently, to "go without" so your children can "have".

This ONE event is the inspiration behind buying foreign formula. Let's not forget China is so poor that people sell organs to buy iPhones and iPads.

[Anonymous No.8786543]

The fact that Chinese people are so poor they taint milk powder with chemicals that kill people, instead of fortifying them with actual nutrients proves that even business owners are disgustingly poor, the fact people sell their kidneys to buy iPhones is just icing on the cake for me. That being said, Chinese people almost exclusively survive on rice/vegetable based diets. iPhones are for stupid/poor people. Obviously.

The average Chinese person can't afford a cheap iPhone was the point. Just admit your bugrace is disgustingly poor and scrape by on rice/vegetables. Generally speaking. The worlds wealthiest person is Mexican, they're China-tier poor as well, on average.

All the buzzwords in the world can't change the fact that people leave China because the economy is centralized into a few hands and wealth is impossible to obtain unless you emigrate westward. There are no social justice warriors in China, just soulless animals.

>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.

[Anonymous No.8786666]

>>8786657

Obesity in China is commonly associated with acceptance of western style cuisine/franchises ie: burger king, mcdonalds, subway etc etc etc.

Once China did away with communism people stopped starving to death en masse.

I know it's /ck/ and it's a given, but with Chinese, Mexican or Indian food, learn to make it at home. They're soups and stews and stir-frys, the hardest part is getting the ingredients together.
