Chinese food is high in salt, fat and calories. What about all of those "poor starving children in China" my mother used to nag me about cleaning my plate?
Woks are great.... for changing your oil.
The same group that complained about the laws coming in to the bedroom, are now coming into the kitchen.
How many old vegetarians do you know?
Oh, Nanny State, hold my hand tightly!
NOT!

If it woks like a duck, it's prolly from Peking.
I eat Chinese maybe once a month, I doubt any permanent harm will come from it.
I don't know ... maybe it's bad for you and maybe it's not. But, I think we can all agree that it's bad for the chicken.
HA! Soaking chicken parts in a salt water brine to kill bacteria has been a health requirement to restaurants for years. The ultra high sodium content resulting from this is just ignored when complaing about sodium content. :-(
My wife is Chinese and teaches wok cooking:

The food in most American "Chinese" restaurants is NOT what Chinese people eat. It's been created for the American palate (deep fried, salty, with lots of brown goopy sauce). Many Chinese restaurants have two menus... one for the Chinese and one for the kuai lo's (foreign devils).
This is the reason my wife never uses the word "Chinese" to describe her cooking. Authentic home style wok cooking is healthy, delicious, and simple.
It's an uncontrovertible - but widely denied - fact that life invariably ends in death.
Somebody (probably these same leftist busybodies) publishes this "Chinese food is bad for you" article every couple of years or so. As the prime example, they always use a dish like sweet and sour pork, General Tso's chicken, etc.; deep-fried, breaded meat covered in sugary, starchy glop and served with a quart of white rice. There is no one on this Earth who thinks these dishes are particularly healthy. The only reason leftists assume their monotonous trivialities are "news" to the reading public is because of their (the leftists') supreme arrogance. Mark my words, you will see this exact same article again in a couple of years' time.
