They're Fat and I'm Happy

I'm straying into dangerous territory here, but I'll be careful. This article's alarmist tone about rising levels of obesity world wide (we're not alone anymore America!) ignores something very important. I'm very, very happy (nay excited) to live in a world in which more than one in four Chinese people are overweight. Only five decades ago, 30 million Chinese died in a state-sponsored famine, so I think some perspective is missing in this discussion.
