I've been bemoaning the rising obesity rate in China for several years now. Lots of fat kids running around and whining to their parents about all the crap food they want to stuff down their gullets. But enough about my time at the supermarket . . .

Now it's hurting the airlines here, who are having to take out some seats to accomodate the chunkier passengers. Check out the Reuters story here while you enjoy your holiday mooncake.

You may ask why the pic of the fat cat? No reason, just found the image online and was impressed by the size - that's a huge Chinese kitty.
