Economics and China

[kandrathe]

I see issues with the simple poverty = obesity equation.

Me too! But as far as oversimplified equations go, it's a lot closer to true than wealth = obesity, at least for the United States. But so long as you're no longer defending the earlier statement, I'm satisfied.

I still stand by the "notion" that wealthy nations (e.g. by GNI PPP), by whatever distributive process, results in more obesity for it's citizens.
