Think childhood obesity is only an epidemic in America? Wrong! The second place where it is becoming a
growing concern is actually China.
Lu Zhihao stands at 3'7 and 136 pounds at just 4 years old. He was born at a healthy weight but quickly started to grow at 3 months old. His doctors can not locate a medical explanation for his large size so they blamed his diet. An establishment in Hong King has volunteered their time time to share weight loss tips for Lu as soon as his parents get the go ahead to travel. Until then they reduced their son's routine of three bowls of rice a meal to only one bowl. The family reportedly has no history of obesity. As China expands, its population;s pants sizes continue to expand as well. Almost 10 years ago a government study done in Child discovered more than 60 millions obese adults and this number had tripled in only one decade. Only one in 70 people in Child are thought to be overweight. In American it is only one in three people.
With China's population hitting the 1.3 billion mark which means Lu Zhihao will not be the only child to face weight issues. Just last year another child in China weighed 95 pounds at just two years old.
