Street Food - Beijing - 14 July 08 - Part 2

China's economy is expanding at an astounding rate - but its waistlines are too. The food of the streets tells the story of a culture torn between tradition and modernity, the customs of an ancient past competing with the convenience age of the new. What will survive and what will be lost? In a China which has gone within two generations from mass starvation to mass obesity, what does the future hold?

Whoever came up with the idea for this episode should be shot... Why didn't it stick to one topic? Also, the name of the show is STREET FOOD. It is suppose to be unhealthy. You can't go to a hot dog stand for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and expect not to gain weight...

I'm actually thin and I happen to be Chinese. You embarrass yourself by showing your ignorance. You should learn to control your anger and maybe think before you speak.

I wouldn't say the friendliest, but still great people and great culture. The govt is the only frustrating thing about China.
Agreed, like.. stop ...   (crock703)29.7.2009
Agreed, like.. stop invading their province and making them a minority (ethnically and economically)​ in their own homeland. The east coast probably wouldn't be flooded with thieves if they had more opportunity at home. That said, I never had a single experience with thieves in the 6 months I lived in Beijing. As is the case anywhere, some people get picked because they look like marks. Can't say I feel sorry for them.
