No one is disputing the detrimental effects of malnutrition. But I am still curious at the definition these "pro-breast-feeding" articles use ... how do I know someone is not using the genuine issue of malnutrition to push an agenda? Here is a Medline abstract - nothing too scientifically...

These vegetarian vs non-vegetarian, North-Indian vs South Indian, and Cantonese vs non-Cantonese detours may be quite distracting indeed. I apologize to you, the OP, for indulging in some of the digression myself. But before people discuss the politics, economics, "downgrade this" and "upgrade...

There is probably some truth in that ... I have never been to Hong Kong. But I do know that in Singapore, for example, most South Asians are Tamils ... with a sprinkle of Sikhs. But then everywhere has a sprinkle of Sikhs. Here in my neck of the woods, I hardly ever met a Tamil unless I "paid...

Even among Pakistanis it depends on their origin and where in Pakistan (or South Asia) they hail from. Having lived around "Bramladesh" for years and attended a college easily with 30% or more South Asians, you should take for granted that I have met more Pakistanis and Indians than you likely...

In China, it's an open fact that those from the north tend to be a little taller. On average Koreans are taller than Vietnamese. In India, the difference between Northerners and Southerners is, based solely on my observations, marked. I have routinely seen Sikh women over 5' 10"...

I personally know a couple of South Asian body builders who are vegetarians (but not vegans). It goes back to roy_gourav's point that decent vegetarian food with a sound and proper protein balance costs more money than an average non-vegetarian, meat-based diet ... here in Canada at least. But...

And it's a luxury here comparatively, too. I eat it every chance I get in lieu of white rice. It tastes better than brown rice.

Indeed Roy. Even low-glycemic index, inherently less diabetogenic Basmati rice is a "luxury" compared to regular white rice, which is quite unfortunate. I tell every East Asian who cares to ask to switch to Basmati rice or brown rice.

Solly ... here is the succinct version: according to some, this "malnutrition" was no less population control with "Indian characteristics" ... I emphasize "was" since I don't personally believe this is the main motivation today so much as it is just consequence of good ol' bureaucratic...

Way back I was told that it was really a manner in which some form of population control can be exercised through seemingly bureaucratic "neglect" and "omission". Certain neighborly state carried out population control by "commission" with methods that were far from ideal (that said state in...

You really should take advice better, little dragon. You must have a lot of time on your hands. Here is a little someone who is "burning", or rather "seething" because he felt that he was unjustly "burned" by those "burnz" with the CCP ... can't you just allow him some quiet dignity of...

Would that really be "advantageous"? But I suppose it's a "Judaic" matter internally. To me this smacks of voluntary "re-ghettorization" and probably makes "Eretz Yisrael" the New Pale of Settlement ... In my mind this is like doing anti-Semites' job for them. At least this is forgoing...

Hey are you casting "aspersions" on my wavelength? :what: There is zero tolerance of "wacism" here ... let me solemnly remind you. And what do you mean by me and "they" don't get aloong? Maybe I'll have my Rodney King moment some day down the road ... It's all about "Change", no? Anyways...

Well at least you are paying attention ... I was just trying to "sneak that one by" at the request of my CIA handler ... 50 cents and my hard work just don't cut it no more with inflation these days. So you would have to excuse me for broadening my revenue base. But I am still taking umbrage...

There is no need to mock India and her real problems and the people there who are working to bring solutions just to spite some insecure "wanna-jee" on an internet forum. That's called "wrestling with a pig" ... and you leave with nothing but mud. I see the same effect when a troll wearing...

Right on no_name. Even little dragon managed to get at the crux of the matter earlier ... uh ... when he was not busy trotting out his "G-2" fantasy ... well nobody is perfect. Chinese people should not and cannot defend the indefensible - whether by their own government or someone else. It...

False "machismo" merely betrays insecurity. Insecurity is reflected by needless barking. Needless barking is the glue that holds together "paper tigers" ... Indeed after 3 decades even Chinese paper tigers are making a come back. That is food for thought.

How people respond to or "use" genuine tragedies tell you a lot about themselves. Perhaps the charitable in me would excuse Citizen Chan as a victim of Propaganda - first by the CCP in China, then by Uncle Sam (or those who "represent" Uncle today). Even the "Hasbharati" brigade have a...

Darn it, even Tiki Pompom couldn't take the heat anymore and excused himself - in a "civilized" manner of course. Well I won't be back ... not for a while anyway.

I asked the "China Hand" for a few characters with "animal radicals" that he brandished about ... and all I got in return was some 2nd rate British poet ... and JFK. But I was having a little "fun" ... but then some of them like Mr. Tan took it so seriously and personally. Who cares what...
