Q: Why are there far fewer obese Japanese than Chinese people?

I was in Japan last year and had to spend a whole day trying to find just one fat Japanese person. But there are fat Chinese everywhere these days. Is it because Japanese food is so much fresher, healthier and more delicious than Chinese food?

Far fewer? How many Japanese did u see on one day?
If u see 1000 Japanese and 10,000 Chinese, I do believe what u said.
And although I've never been to Japan, I heard Japanese r crazier than Chinese to want to be thin.
Also maybe they don't have so many KFCs in Japan. They r much cleverer than Chinese, we shouldn't let KFC enter China.

Their diet is much healthier than any country, therefore you don't see too many fat Japanese.

For the past 5 years WHO has issued a list of the countries with the most nutritious food.

China has topped the list more than once. Japan has never topped the list.

Wenna has some good in her answer, but she's also wrong. They have KFC in Japan, but it's much moar expensive. So less people go there, which translates in reduced obesity.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before
A:Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China, it would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after arrival to China.    So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital.   -- icnif77
