The traditional and modern Chinese diets are radically different despite both including rice. The traditional Chinese diet was composed of boiled foods, fish, vegetables, and fermented foods, and has been largely replaced by a modern diet. Food preparation in China shifted from primarily boiling to primarily frying as the diet modernized. The variable that changed between the lean era and the obese era was everything surrounding the rice, not the rice itself.
