Chinese food is bad for you


I always thought that Chinese food wasn't as bad as eating McDonald's or BK, but to my surprise Chinese food contains more calories in a meal that someone needs the entire day. For instance, an egg roll contains 200 calories, cup of rice has another 200 calories, a plate of stir-fried green has 900 calories, six steamed pork dumplings has 500 calories; this meal contains about 1,800 calories and an adult is supposed to eat 2,000 calories a day! So, if you still want to eat Chinese food once in a while, I suggest that you only eat half of everything and take the other half home.

Stay healthy!

Chinese food is not bad for you... the AMERICANIZED chinese food is. Do some research on AUTHENTIC chinese food, and you will find they mostly steam their dishes, don't have nearly as much sauce or the same types of sauce, and also have a lot more veggies.

Chinese food isn't bad. When you consider what ingridents was use when making them. Just as American or Italian, tons of butter or etc. I say, if you know how to cook real Chinese food, it's the real deal! The food you find at the local Chinese takeout restaurant, isn't healthy because it's made for those who want a cheap bite!
