Amazing Chinese diet

President Xi Jinping ignited the national “Clean Plate Campaign”. The beef restaurant in the city of Changsha placed two large scales at its entrance this week. Signs were encouraging diners to weigh themselves and then order food accordingly. The restaurant then asked diners to enter their measurements into an app that would then suggest menu items accordingly. Signs reading “Be thrifty and diligent, promote empty plates.” The policy caused an uproar on Chinese social media. “Our original intentions were to advocate stopping waste and ordering food in a healthy way. We never forced customers to weigh themselves,” it said. State TV also criticized streamers (like Instagram) who filmed themselves eating large amounts of food. So far, this has not been announced as part of the Chinese “Social Credit” system.

 

Some weighty humor

Since quarantine, I’ve not had a haircut. I’ve not even stepped on the scales. So today I decided to weigh myself for the first time in months.
Who knew hair weighed so much?!

Recently signed up for a gym, even paid 3 months in advance. I just weighed myself and I gained 5 pounds!
“If this continues, I think I might have to go there and see why this is happening.”

What weighs more? 120 pounds of Iron or a 120 pound woman?
The woman. They never tell the truth about their weight.

How much do Chinese dumplings weigh?
Wonton.
