Is there some Chinese thing about obesity--? I mean, they're not asking for parents who are perfectly healthy.
It's not just obesity. China is tightening a number of requirements dealing with other health issues, finances, criminal background, education, and marital history.
I thought it was clear from the headline: "barring single, obese parents." Who, by and large, fits that description? They didn't mention flannel shirts, but it should still be clear enough. They want to keep out Rosie O'Donnell.
Yes, there is. They point and giggle, and some walk around pretending to be fat. It's a strange place.

Well if you think about it, if people aren't willing to take care of themselves, who's to say they would do much better for their children?
