lil' fatties

Chen Chaogang, a univer sity doctor in Guangdong province, said the weight increase was a consequence of China's dramatic economic development and opening up to foreign business. As well as the adoption of a fast-food culture - McDonald's and KFC outlets have become ubiquitous in many cities -a rising middle class is doing less physical exercise, driving more, and spending more time motionless in front of televisions, computers and video games. It is a dramatic change for a country where tens of millions of people starved to death in famines during the 1950s and 60s. Partly for this reason, plumpness has long been seen as a sign of health and wealth. In many parts of the country during the summer, men roll up their shirts to expose their bulging jiangjun du (general's bellies).

I'm not sure what to say here. But I like the idea of rolling up my shirt, slapping my belly, and commanding someone to get me a beer, because the general's thirsty.
