Yep. Education is the key. It may not be so much to do with social security as in China many farmers and shop owners are prosperious. Sure they are not rich by any standards, but they have more than they can eat, they can afford to eat meat, vege and anything reasonable. They can feed a large family and they think therefore they should have one.
