On streets you will find vendors selling corn ears already cooked for you and they are great to eat.
the fat Chinese are the ones that are going to KFC and Maccas. there are still a lot of chinese who dont eat meat at all or eat very little.
Yeah the thing is, it is hard for outsider to understand how chinese manage to use their limited resources to feed most of their population like i mentioned in the thread ages ago, most farmer use Bran to feed their pigs, ahhh maybe not those super intense one, but i am sure their basic food will still be bran
