Chinese grapple with obesity, herbs not a solution

Duh alert!

They got one thing right - herbs are not a solution.

Only fewer Calories in or more Calories out will work.

But, just when you think they have a prayer of doing something right, there is this:

"It's a lifestyle modification. We have clinics that help in weight management. It's a combination of acupuncture, herbs and modifying your lifestyle. I don't think it's an easy solution."

Simple weight loss is NOT a lifestyle modification. It is a matter of one or more easy, less daunting tasks.

You do not need a clinic, special foods, doctors, diet experts, the government or Big Pharma.

Given half a chance, these folks will bury you.
