According to a new report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Chinese food is bad for you, loaded with sodium and fat and other nasty things:
Chinese restaurant food draws criticism. Well, duh. If you're talking about crap like egg rolls and General Tso's chicken, like the report cites, then yes, such items are certainly bad for you. The same could be said of certain food items of other world cuisines. Hell, I bet most of the stuff they examined in this report isn't even "real" Chinese foodimagine how many bad Chinese takeout places are out there. And before you go pointing fingers and giving Chinese food a bad rap, let us consider the worst offender: American food. McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell. Yum. But it's a nutritional wasteland too.
