That's more than the entire US population!

More than half of Chinese adults are now considered overweight, a study conducted by the country's National Health Commission revealed on Wednesday. Obesity rates among Chinese adults have also more than doubled in less than two decades, from 7.1% in 2002 to 16.4% this year.

According to the report, 50.7% of Chinese adults are overweight, including those who are obese. In a country of 1.4 billion, that amounts to more than half a billion people -- more than the entire US population.

With food like this it's little wonder. This sounds absolutely disgusting! Then again, the Chinese aren't known for their refined food choices.

An acquired taste? McDonald's China offers burger featuring Spam and crushed Oreos.

Just when we thought we couldn't possibly be shocked by yet another bizarre fast food chain restaurant offering -- remember Domino's bubble tea pizza? -- McDonald's China has proved us wrong.

For one day only this week, diners were invited to gobble up Spam and Oreo burgers.

The latest food mashup offered by the chain featured two extra-thick slices of Spam -- canned, cooked pork made by Hormel Foods Corporation -- topped with Oreo crumbs and the brand's classic burger sauce.

The announcement on McDonald's China's website described the taste of the Oreo and Spam burger as "tender and juicy," "full of meatiness" and with "a hint of sweet aftertaste" that amounts to "an unimaginable double surprise."

Interesting, I believe a persons body reflects their mind.

Someone who is physically fit, muscled, healthy and lean shows a disciplined tough mind.
