Question 3

Compare the differences between meals served in a typical American Chinese restaurant to meals traditionally eaten in China.

Accepted Answer

Chinese food served in American Chinese restaurants is a far cry from the type eaten daily by rural Chinese people. Many Chinese restaurant meals are swimming in oil and contain much more meat and poultry and fewer vegetables than real Chinese food. Consider that a typical American Chinese meal might include wonton soup, barbecued spareribs, chicken lo mein, and fried rice-chalking up some 1,400 calories and more than 80 grams of fat. A typical meal eaten in rural China, in contrast, would likely contain a heaping portion of rice, along with fiber- and nutrient-rich vegetables and less than an ounce of meat or fish, and would thereby contain only a fraction of the fat.
