Data collected during service as a nutritionist since 1988 are drawn on to examine trends in dietary practices & health among children in the People's Republic of China & Hong Kong. Survey findings reveal clear rural-urban differences in diet & child development: though rural children are breast-fed longer, urban children eat more nutritional foods, grow larger & at a faster rate, & are generally more healthy than their rural counterparts or preceding generations. However, their risk of obesity & other illnesses is increasing. Government interventions & policies aimed at improving child health & nutrition are reviewed. 3 Tables, 7 Figures.
