Chinese population getting fatter???

  Couple of days ago me and my friend Natasha skipped out during our brake time to one of the walking streets . 
We had some time, so we found one branch on Jon Shan Lu and set there for a while.
  Actually, since I came in Xiamen I have seen lots of beautiful Chinese girls who definitely have style and taste! We imagined that we were sitting on the first raw of the catwalk and started observing people and Chinese dressing style. We were looking and discussing each person that was passing in front of us, can you imagine how many people we could see in an hour?!
  But as time passed our observation topic changed and we came to the conclusion that Chinese population is getting fatter. May be 10 years before you would rarely meet "over-weighted" Chinese. So this is how our "Girly talk" passed on the statistical observations and theories that we have learnt at class. Now we know how to calculate a probability that every 10th Chinese would be fatter in next 10 year if they do not make regulations on food. :)
 Perhaps, Globalization has brought fast food industry and pastry here as well. Now, you can see more McDonald's,  KFC, Kungfu (Chinese FF) and other international and local fast foods rather than healthy restaurants and cafes while walking around. I've just counted for curiosity there are more than 5 bakery's under my house and about 15-20 of them on my way to University (which takes me 15 min by foot).
  So this is it, Lesson is learnt and If you think you can get thinner in China don't even dream about that!!! 
You can review some pictures from Jon Shan Lu below!
