Chinese food unhealthy? Who knew!?

[statrat]

I am shocked, shocked I tell you to find that deep fried chicken coated with a sugary sweet orange glaze and egg rolls are not good for me!

Dead. To. Me.

The lesson here, as always, is if you want something done right, do it yourself. Even a novice in the kitchen can whip up a basic stir-fry and be chowing down in less time than it would take for the delivery guy to get to your door.

Sadly it seems as though none of those posting have actually tasted Chinese food. Well, by that I mean real Chinese food and not the fast food variety.

Asking if I've been to China? No.

See, reading that story made me want to walk around the corner and get that Chinese lunch buffet. To me, Chinese food is not only good, it's good for you.

Not necessary. There are some damn fine places in Flushing, Chinatown (not the DC one, unfortunately) and Jersey. You just need to know where to go.

I've eaten Chinese in Chinatown. I've eaten at Chinese buffets. I've eaten it at carryout places.

All I can find that doesn't make me vomit is sweet and sour chicken, and the sauce has to be on the side. Sorry to disappoint you and keep you from being able to judge me.

There's a Chinese place in town with a Cantonese menu and a real menu. You have to ask for the real menu.

I've had so much mediocre Chinese food if I was in China right now I'd order out for American.

So what's good on the real menu? Sweet and sour chicken?

When Chinese food sucks, it really sucks.

The Chinese place in my hometown is terrible. I've ate there once, but all of my friends love it. The last time I went there (my senior year in high school) I brought McDonalds. My friends laughed at me, but no way was I eating that crap again.

That fact that you brought McDonald's doesn't exactly bolster your argument there, KY.

Not all places in Chinatowns are good. Most are aren't. Sweet and sour Chicken is somethign I don't eat, so it could be preference. You probably had a lot of ****.

Usually places with two menus are decent. I guess not.

Hmmm.

I guess all those slim (by average) Chinese people you see are just ready to die.

This must be why there are so few Chinese people in the world - unhealthy diet.

Maybe General Tso plans to conquer the world by killing Americans with his unhealthy eponymous concontion.
