Links
Several of you asked for more about hot and cold foods. Here are some links I found that echo what I have heard here from locals. Please note, I'm not saying these are true, just that they are the same things I have heard while here. Obviously everyone should decide for themselves whether they believe in the theory of hot and cold foods.
As an overview, here is what I've heard:
Cold food: fruits and veggies that ripen in the spring/summer, plus duck.
Hot food: most meats, cabbage, ginger, and hot spices such as curry and hot peppers (lajiao)
Neutral foods: rice and baked/steamed white fish, breads
Here are some links:

And here is a book available through Google reader that has information:
Manual of Dietetic Practice
And a BBC story about obesity in China. It is becoming more common in large cities with people who have the money to eat "western" style.
