plus, I've been eating chinese food everyday for lunch for about the past 3 weeks (cause it's cheap and the menu said it was nutritional) but.. I've gained about 8 lbs. The article I found is pretty shocking.

I think they cook differently over there.

There is a stark difference between American Chinese food and actual Chinese food.

Chinese food owns, but I wouldn't eat it every day.

 

[Electric Amish]

I hate chinese food.

 

[oboeguy]

And this is surprising? Wow, lots of salt and fat!

Doesn't that describe most take-out food?

Yeah, from what I've been reading today, everything from take-out is bad.

Everyday you eat food it takes a day off your life.

But it tastes so good so that means it must be good for you.

Meh, when I do my own stir fry it's fine. I look for low sodium and low fat marinades and marinate some chicken or beef. Then throw in tons of veggies: oninons, green pepper, bok choi, broccoli, carrots, pea pods, all kinds of tasty things.

Chinese restaurants are just fast food in disguise. Nothing here we didn't know.

So would that explain why starving marvin and his ethiopians friends live to be 1000 years old?

Yeah the chinease food we eat here isnt really chinese. Its American Chinese food. Lots of meat that would otherwise be all veggies. Just think about this...Ever go into a chinese place and see the owners scarfing down a box of General Tso's? No you dont. Everytime i see them eathing their home food tis a bowl full of noodles or veggies..maybe some fish paste and some kind of soup.

This doesnt stop me from lvoing my general tsos tho!

 

[EvilYoda]

funny, I've had Chinese food my entire life and I'm one skinny mofo.

The two people who wrote that article are idiots. You can't generalize Chinese food because there are many styles, consisting of food from different Chinese sub-cultures.

Apparently food is so deadly that just thinking about it has the same effect. They think about food a great deal...

HELL NO BROTHAMAN

edit: I read the thread. Seriously, 1993?!

-What CorpRec said - American Chinese food is to Chinese food : Del Taco is to Mexican food.
-Most fat Chinese people are not fat because they exclusively ate Chinese food, but fastfood places like McD, BK, etc. People that are fat are that way because of overeating in general. Eating 3000 calories worth of "healthy" food will still make you fat. Most Chinese people I know eat authentic Chinese food at home, which does not destroy you as much as fastfood takeout. Granted, Chinese cooking focuses heavily on sodium and oil, but not in the massive proportions that takeout places liberally dish out.

Bah, the only thing bad about chinese food is when they use MSG ... poison... poison I say !
