So I recently had someone comment in one of my videos, if rice is so bad, why are the

Chinese so thin? Well, the Chinese are not as thin as you think. From 1985 to 2015, there was a

massive spike of obesity in children. And I'm not even talking about being overweight. I'm talking

about classified as obese. For boys, it was an increase by 14 times. And for girls, the obesity

increase was 11x. That's crazy. I mean, the Chinese once were considered one of the leanest populations

of the entire world. Now it's ranked second behind the US. I wonder why? Well, because they're

eating like Americans. So yes, the Chinese always consume rice, okay? But let's just take a look

at what they consumed in the early 90s versus right now. It was a lot less sugar, 1.7 kilograms

of sugar. Now it's 7.7 kilograms of sugar. They consumed a lot more vegetables than they do now.

They consumed fish, a lot of seafood. Food was primarily boiled, as compared to now it's

fried. They consumed more fermented foods like NATO, Miso, Kimchi. Now it's a lot less. And the

Western food and beverage companies help shape the science and public policy and obesity in China.

So the recent trends in America, consuming liquid candy. I'm sorry, soda is actually going down.

So the beverage companies now are marketing heavily in other countries like Mexico and especially

China. So in China, there is a lot more sugar being consumed, a lot more snacking going on. Also,

the amount of soy. Back in 1995, 14 tons of soy consumed in it was non-GMO. Now it's actually 70

million tons with the majority of that being imported. And most of it's going to be GMO. China

actually produces half of the world's poor. And most of the pigs are fed soy. So in summary,

the Chinese are not getting thinner, they're getting fatter. And it's not because of the rice,

it's because of the sugar and the refined carbohydrates. And the soy products are also contributing

to this problem as well.
