Everything is very different on the other side of the world, from the language, the customs and even the way of promoting businesses.
In
China
there is a situation that has never been seen.
A restaurant called
Mr Zhao La Chufang
offers its diners an unusual promotion.
The gastronomic business
gives a complete menu to people who are thin
.
At the door of the premises there is a small door divided with metal bars and depending on the "thickness of the diners" they obtain different rewards.
Prizes range from a drink to a full lunch.
Despite the controversial method, the owner of the place, Zhao Lang, assured that with this striking measure he attracted many customers.
In addition, his intention is to make the population aware of eating a healthy diet.

Three levels
There are three levels and depending on each of them the respective discounts are obtained.
The first one is 18 centimeters apart,
in this one you can get free beers and a menu.
The next gap is about 10 inches, which, while easier, not everyone goes through;
those who do, win a beer
.
A customer tries his luck and slides through the metal bars in an attempt to win a discount.
Finally there's the 12-inch one, which has several sarcastic captions.
One says "your number is average, you shouldn't ask for more" and another "Are you sure you should be drinking beer?".
A worrying figure
Not only is Zhao Lang proposing a flashy promotion, as the statistics in China are truly alarming.
Officially, it has the first place in the obesity rate of the adult population, surpassing the United States.
Specifically, the exorbitant exact figure given by China's public health is that, currently, the rate of overweight in the Asian country reached 42% of the population, according to the New York Times.
The Chinese diet continued to be rich and varied, the youngest, added dairy and meat to their daily meals.
This caused a radical change in their eating habits.

Successful and Innovative
"Perhaps it serves to remind people that they must be careful with the diet they follow," the owner of the place told the press, very happy with how popular his restaurant has become.
According to owner Zhao Lang, only women have been able to win the free menu.
In addition,
he commented that the challenge began because, due to the dust outside, they had to leave the door half open and customers began to pass through without moving it.
For him, it is a friendly promotion that rewards good looks and helps to combat the country's problems with the diet of its millions of inhabitants and, at the same time, attract new customers.
