I’m in China right now, and must say that the authentic food you find here is no better, and often worse in terms of greasiness and fat content. If you order a meat dish, the “meat” will be 95% fat, and will certainly be swimming in oil. To make things worse, most of the food here is absolutely disgusting. I’d give anything to eat in an American Chinese place right now. It’s really ridiculous how arrogant the people here are when it comes to the health of their food, always bragging about how nutritious it is, etc.

This is so funny! Stuff like this make me wonder at the concept of group mind. I just wrote a post on how to Americanize any foreign dish!

I also saw the Yahoo article on how unhealthy restaurant Chinese food is.

I am not sure why this is a newsflash, though. It’s not difficult to determine that deep fried is bad for you no matter what cuisine. Chinese food may have lots of vegetables but vegetables swimming in grease and sodium is pretty obvious even if the oil is peanut and sodium is soy or oyster sauce.

Whenever I eat Chinese, I want to take a crap, a nap and am hungry 2 hours later.

General chicken is where it’s at. As the local restaurant says, “It’s in the smile and secret sauce.” No idea what they mean, but they have had it on the commercials for years…

It displays fine in FF. This was me trying to act on your recommendation of getting the header graphic to span the top instead of having the spaces on either side. Any suggestions what I could try?

Edit: I fiddled around and I think it shows up fine now in both IE and FF.

PS: There is something really wrong with your header graphic in IE. It’s totally shifted left.

Westernized Chinese food is definitely the worst. I used to cook in my family’s restaurant so I know what goes in it

If I get the urge to have it ever, I immediately get the MSG headache, but after I feel like I can solve algebra equations. Those sweet and sour chicken balls make you smaht!
