Q: Is obesity a trend in China?

Since I first arrived in this countary, i see moar and moar obese people walking down the streets. I understand it may be because of the Colonel's chicken, since his store are always so packed and KFC is now almost an integral part of Chinese gastronomy.

Moar and moar I see Chinese women looking like those mythical Irish land whales, and moar moar Chinese men look like the Dreaded walking Walrus.

Since I understood that Chinese people want to do like 'Mericans do, are they becoming obese because they're pushing 'Merican lifestyle too far, or do you think it's just a fad that will go away?

https://www.conservapedia.com/China_and_obesity

In response to Ambi, the Christian Conservapedia site has this. Fat people are athiests. Athiests are fat. Americans are thin, cos freedom, demoracy, and freedom burgers with free speach fies.

This is all stupid breitbartesque wingnuttery.

Suspension of facts, data, science and actual observations.

Conservapedia tells right wing americans that Chinese ppl are fat, the fat americans believe it.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
