In China, you can now pay someone online to savor the food and beverages for you. After "Kua Kua" groups - online chat groups where members shower unconditional praise on you - hiring people to eat and drink has become a new practice among young Chinese people. Those who hire others for the service can enjoy a detailed and all-round video of the drink or food, including a detailed description of the taste and the whole process from the first bite to the last morsel. As many youngsters are in a constant state of war to strike a balance between tasty food and eating healthy, using others to satisfy the desire may as well be a good way to keep in shape. This shows that young Chinese people are interested in looking for a creative solution to a problem through social contacts. Such an odd but funny service may not last long but a little entertainment is never too much.
