China has entered the debate about meat consumption by recommending that its citizens consume meat due to concerns about the growing number of Chinese people in its society. The growth of China's middle classes has corresponded with the adoption of Western lifestyles including diets that contain beef and pork, which are viewed as signs of affluence. However; this lifestyle also features large amounts of sugar and fat, both of which contribute to obesity along with sedentary lifestyles. A leading obese government agency has reviewed the diets and lifestyles of its citizens and has called for a reduction in red meat consumption, from 50 to 75 g per day in 2007 to 40 to 75 g per day. Furthermore, the government is concerned about the rising costs of treating obesity and other lifestyles conditions that places a heavy burden upon its underfunded healthcare system.
