I think they have an exception if both parents are only children, they're allowed to have 2.

More likely it was so that couple could have a girl, large difference in the male:female ratio in China these days so the government is giving incentives to families with girls.

They probably had the 2nd kid in the country, brought it into the city, and got fined by the police.

Huh? Why would a second child be more likely to be a girl?

If you get all your info from TV you might think all Americans are 4000 lbs and eat a truck load of butter a day!

Well, you just gotta look around to draw your own conclusions.

lol, I hope urban dictionary is wrong

I think it is just a normal sandwich with mayo instead of butter on the bread.

i think they just get fined for having more kids, so if you can afford the fine, you are probably well off enough to have more kids...

when butter is cheaper than margarine? So no mayo and no butter for your sandwich. humm, why are you bothering to eat it?

Avacdos? WTH 😕

Well mayonnaise is popular as we have it with most sandwiches I can probably be 99% certain they don?t have it on its own. Like a tuna and mayonnaise sandwich, salad with mayonnaise etc, also remember this is only 1 picked family hardly shows the average.

 

[Alienwho]

That seems like a ton of food for 1 week. The average food shown there could be like a 3 months supply for the wife and I.

most don't show only 2 people...most really don't realize how much they eat and drink in a day, yet alone a week.

The German one spends $500.07 a week. Although to be fair half of its probably beer.

oh and by the way, the Italian mom is a total milf. Italy FTW.

you get a six pack for EU 1,99 here..sometimes we have 0.5l bottles on sale for 29 cents/bottle. HARD to spend a lot of money on beer...cheaper than water, literally.

 

[Fothsn]

Yes, there a problem? What was your first post?

butter = margarine, same concept i wouldent ever think of putting it on anything other then toast

i put mustard on sandwiches sometimes very light mayo but never a "mayo sandwich" theres always meat and cheese in there and maybe some other veggies

You take that back! 🙂 I don't think it's a straight mayo only sandwich. Lol, you can have butter on toast, but not in a sandwich? how about toasted sandwich?

Actually, Mo0o is correct. In Beijing, and most other provinces, families are freely allowed to have more than one child (regardless of gender) if both parents are single children of their parents. In fact, the one-child policy is quite complex, and there are tons of exceptions. This is one of them.

I like how some families look pissed to be in the pictures (look at the first, Japan one). They are like, damn this nasty food. And in others they are happily smiling.
