More and more Chinese people are overweight. According to an incomplete statistic (不完全数据), about 23% Chinese boys under 20 are overweight, while for girls it is 14%.

People need to have less soft drinks, candies, and red meat, too. We should especially eat more vegetables and fruit. We should also exercise more to keep fit.
