Chinese food has a rep. to being healthy
but its packed w fat , the cheaper the better
and massive amour of fat.
over time , quite lethal
It seems to me they do use a lot of vegetable oil for stir frying not fat.
They don't use cheese, cream, etc in cooking.
May be that explains why Asians on the average, lives 7 year longer than other ethnic groups.
Also, obesity is not a common problem in Asian societies.
