I just read an article that stated China now has 1/3 of its population plagued by obesity.  While it pales in comparison to the United States at 2/3...but remember, China has 1.3 Billion people compared to the states tiny 300 million.  China has more obese people that the US has citizens!

Estimates say that China will reach the 2/3 obesity range in about 10 years at the current pace.  I think this just shows where the world is going.  Everyone is becoming "Westernized", everybody is becoming fat.

China is doing nothing about the problem because it is a huge boost in the economy.  With the influx of Western business, the Chinese are eating all than they can - and growing in pants size because of it!

So now the "American Diet" is responsible for the obesity of at least 1/7th of the world's population - and my guess is that it is even more.  So where does it stop?

The only way to stop it is government intervention...taxing fat, taxing sugars...getting to the root of the problem.  They did it with cigarettes in the US - why not the things that are really killing us.
