7．You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia's fast-food generation．Dr．Chwang，director of the Department of Food Nutrition，says children are eating more meat and drinking more soft drinks．That is totally different from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat．"They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink．So although they may eat the same amount of food，their calorie intake （卡路里攝入量） has increased．Now about 40to 45percent of their calories come from fat，"says Chwang．
Although on the whole Asians are often thin，culture-namely Asians'hospitality （熱情好客）-is a reason for the fatness of today's generation，according to Chwang．"Asian people love food，"she says，"Eating and drinking are important social and family activities．"In the past，however，big meals were only hosted for special events，as people were more careful with money．In today's climate of wealth and high consumption （消耗），10-course meals are no longer reserved for important times．
"In the past，people had four or more children-now，they have one or two，so they are likely to spoil them，"says Chwang．"The easiest way is to give them‘quality food'．Parents think feeding them well is showing their love．They feel bad when their children look thin．"
When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children，Chwang says："there is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play．Children get fat because they don't move，and in the end，they don't want to move because they are fat．"
Because of technology，a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports．"What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games？They eat chocolate and drink Coke，"says Chwang．
