Chinese official : Chinese should eat more potatoes, less rice.

[frequency]

lol potato noodles! ahahaha!

 

[tranquilium]

Doesn't potato makes you fat??

Not really. By weight, the heat provided by potato is significantly lower than rice or wheat since the potato tuber can contain up to 80% water. The rest of the potato is pretty much starch, no different from rice or wheat. It's all about the other stuff you eat along with the stable food.

If only niceguy can learn to be "nice" instead of agitating. Also, someone should really take his popcorns away.

>_<''

Have you tried sweet potato fries ? There's a place in Chicago known as "Hot Doug's" , they serve excellent Chitown-style hot dogs, and to-die-for sweet potatoe fries (served with foie gras!!)

nom nom nom!

I like regular fries better. Though I stopped eating them after I was 25, office life and deep fried food doesn't mix well. Also, isn't sweet potato a completely different plant form potatoes? Potatoes are closer related to tomatoes and eggplants than sweet potatoes.

What is your colour?

Anyway, I am against waste, and waste of food like overeating is a sin and it is damaging to health. China is becoming more obese. It is very bad.

It is good that the government is fighting against it through these TV promo and program

Eating the Chinese way is the best. When eating the Chinese way, the food should be based on four categories and less about the calories of the food so your body is always in balance.

1. Hot air food
2. Leung food
3. Wet hot food
4. nourishing (bo)

Yap you are quite right
Traditional Chinese philosophy about food and eating concerns about balancing 调和 ie the yin and yang 阴阳, and the nourishment （bu qi 补气） within your body. The idea is pretty much like maintaining a good metabolism for a sound defensive system against diseases.

I agree! For me, i can't eat too much fried or spicy food nowadays because i get heart burn easily. In moderation lol. ^_^/

Both rice and potatoes are cheap, empty sugar calories devoid of nutrition. Low carb is the way to go.

 

[Hasbara Buster]

They are both sugar...

I think the survey done by WHO is looking at the population of individual country as a whole
Even countries like India (in deeper blue zones) has its own obesity issues within a certain cross section of their community

Maybe there is a secret McDonalds, KFC and other Western fast food inside the lair of Kim-jong Un!

Obesity in Pinas? Not from my experience

Not sure in other provinces but in Manila, it is slowly becoming an issue. Specially considering that aside from McDonalds, its local rival fastfood is everywhere in the Philippines.
