Kids becoming fatter thanks to fast food

Almost one-fifth of the second "single-child generation" often eats foreign fast food, a survey has found.

With many of the post-80 generation now married and with families of their own, the second "single-child generation" has arrived and is being seen as the first generation of Chinese people to grow up with too much food.

According to a dietary survey by China Youth and Children Research Center (CYCRC), 13.6 percent of the second "single-child generation" are obese.
