Someone asked me, if rice is so bad for you, why are Chinese people so thin? Actually, they aren’t as thin as you think.

From 1985 to 2015 there was a massive spike of obesity in children in China. I mean obesity, not simply being overweight. For boys the increase was 14 times; for girls, 11 times.

The Chinese were once considered one of the leanest populations in the world. Now they’re ranked second in overweight behind the US because they’re eating like Americans.

Chinese people always consumed rice but let’s take a look at the rest of their diet in the early 90’s versus right now:

Less sugar then; far more sugar now
More vegetables then; fewer now
More fish and seafood then; less now
Mostly boiled food then; now it’s mostly fried
More fermented foods like natto, miso, kimchi then; less now
Western food and beverage companies shape obesity policy now

Soda consumption in the US is decreasing so beverage companies are marketing heavily in other countries. As well, in 1995 most soy was non-GMO. Now, most of it is. The pork raised in China is fed mostly GMO feed.

To summarize, the Chinese people are getting fatter because of an increase in consumption of sugar and refined carbohydrates and a decrease in their traditional healthy foods. You can see why rice combined with a US diet is problematic.
