'When Deng Xiaoping said 'To get rich is glorious', he probably didn't realize that getting wealthy would make many Chinese fat... In an informative and entertaining style, French and Crabbe reveal the dark side of China's growing middle-class: a fast increase in obesity-related illnesses such as diabetes. A great read on an important topic.' —Andy Rothman, China economist, CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, Shanghai
'In this remarkably well researched and thought-provoking book, French and Crabbe expose a darker side of globalisation in China... Western multinationalists have submerged the Chinese consumer in a sea of chocolate and ice cream. The consequences for public health are incalculable.' —Tim Clissold, China investment specialist and author of ‘Mr China’
'While some people around the world agonize about the rapid spread of China’s global influence, others within China are more worried about the spread of the country’s waistlines – or at least they should be, according to this fascinating and exhaustively researched study by Paul French and Matthew Crabbe. By turns colourful, witty and alarming, this book provides fascinating insights into China’s fast-changing society.' —Duncan Hewitt, Shanghai correspondent for ‘Newsweek’ and author of ‘Getting Rich First: Life in a Changing China’
'The two authors open our eyes to the global phenomenon of obesity hitting China...the book ‘Fat China’ brilliantly shows this fast and sudden evolution of China, between the past generation and that of today.' —www.ma-grande-taille.com
'‘Fat China’ looks at one aspect of the "economic miracle" that had previously escaped attention [...] the growing rates of obesity on the mainland. [The] findings are startling.' —Mark O’Neill, ‘South China Morning Post’
'Authors Paul French and Matthew Crabbe have explored “how changing diets, modern lifestyles, investment from foreign fast food and supermarket retailers and urban planning” are lending China a very American problem.' —Evan Osnos, ‘The New Yorker’
‘This eye-opening and pioneering book on obesity in China is based on comprehensive research and statistical data. More important, the authors examine the health problem against global economic, sociocultural, and political backgrounds and in much broader contexts... Highly recommended.’ —A. Y. Lee, George Mason University, ‘Choice’
