Thumbs up Good News!! Average Bust Sizes Grows For People In China

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060425/...hina_bras_dc_1

Tempest in a D-cup as bust sizes grow

Tue Apr 25, 8:21 AM ET

BEIJING (Reuters) - Bra producers have been forced to offer bigger cup-sizes in China because improved nutrition is busting all previous chest measurement records.

"It's so different from the past when most young women would wear A- or B-cup bras," Triumph brand saleswoman Zhang Jing told the Shanghai Daily from the Landmark Plaza of China's commercial hub.

"You...never expect those thin women to have such nice figures if they are not plastic."

The report, seen on the daily's Web site Tuesday, said that the Hong Kong-based lingerie firm Embry Group no longer produces A-cups for larger chest circumferences and has increased production of C-, D- and E-cup bras to meet pressing demand.

The Beijing Institute of Clothing Technology released a report last week saying the average chest circumference of Chinese women has risen by nearly 1 cm (0.4 inch) to 83.53 cm (32.89 inches) since the early 1990s, the daily said.

This phenomenon, it said, was due to women eating more nutritiously and taking part in more sport.

Similar growth in the average height of children prompted a rethink last year in Beijing on the height allowance for free bus rides.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the hormones that they put in poultry and meat?

There is. As China has been industrializing junk food has become a much bigger part of their diets. If you go to Beijing you'll see a KFC on every street corner. The Chinese seem to love that fried chicken.

So like every pretty much every other country on the planet, the Chinese are indeed getting fatter. And bigger boobs are a nice by product of that.

i agree. let's say this article noted an increase in penis size. it wouldn't be so becoming if the increase included a flabby belly that hung over it.

Ahhh....well this explains it all!

Quote:
SHANGHAI, China - The beer is flowing, John Fogerty is singing on the stereo and six scantily clad young Chinese women are doing the hokey-pokey.

Hooters Shanghai is open for business.

The American restaurant opened its first China outlet on Friday night, bringing its highly successful combination of cold beer, chicken wings and skimpily dressed waitresses to one of the world's fastest growing economies.

Located in an upscale mall in the foreigner-friendly Hongqiao district, the outlet adds to the more than 375 stores now operated by the chain famed for its busty waitresses clad in clingy low-cut tank tops and high-cut shorts — an image the company describes as "delightfully tacky, yet unrefined."

“The people of Shanghai deserve something fun with good service and we're happy to bring it to them,” manager Cameron Jiang said as smiling waitresses whisked plates of chicken wings and glasses of cold lager to guests at a launch party.

Hooters' arrival marks another milestone in Shanghai's rise as China's commercial hub, but also underscores how growth is challenging traditional conservative views on sexuality.

For decades after the founding of the People's Republic in 1949, traditional male-dominated culture and communist prudishness combined to make showing skin or publicly displaying affection verboten.

These days, however, Shanghai boasts hundreds of hostess bars, massage parlors, sex shops and telephone chat lines. Couples kiss and hug openly, while public opinion surveys show broad acceptance of premarital sex among young people.

"You see young women on the street wearing skimpy outfits on hot days. I don't think anything could be wrong (with Hooters), as long as customers and waitresses have the right intentions," said an office worker with an American pharmaceutical company, who gave only her surname, Fang.

Hooters' investors are betting those changing attitudes will take its “Hooters Girls” in stride.

Hmm, let's look at it like we would the stock market, where a one penny increase in profits means millions spread over all the shares.

There's a tiny increase in the average bust size for women in China, and you figure that roughly half the population is women. A tiny increase over half a billion women, that's still a lot of boobage growth.

If it was any other nationality, I'd take it more seriously but I find it too hard to get excited about this one... I mean ok sure the breast size averge is getting larger but really, could it have possibly gotten any smaller? There is really nowhere for it to go but up (or more accurately out). Heck, I know plenty of asian women where if their breast size tripled they'd still be flat.
