Check behind the restaurants to see if there are empty cages, the restaurant owners hire men to drive through neighborhoods and seize dogs and cats from peoples property and bring back to fill cages all day and night. Don’t fool yourself into believing that the Vietnamese immigrants left this barbaric system of killing domesticated animals behind when the came and still come to America. BOYCOTT the restaurants for at least for the poor crying child whose puppy is now on your dinner plate and is called chicken by the description on the menu.

[@FeelTheLack]

I have so many Asian relatives, my French grandparents and other family members adopted many older children during the Korean war, the other side of my family are also French and they adopted many older Chinese children, a wonderful thing being that the children were old enough to carry that food culture with them and our American Thanksgiving is the BEST mixture of Asian and French cuisine, I feel so lucky I have to brag. Two amazing culinary cultures.

And yet, I still love Chinese food! I grew up regularly eating in the restaurants of Seattle's Chinatown and know just how Americanized most "Chinese" food is these days. Finding decent Chinese food is becoming more and more difficult as increasingly more foods are deep fried, rather than pan fried. This not only adds unnecessary calories, but diminishes food flavor profiles, as well. Good, real Chinese food is amazing! And I will always love it!

[@sami__2220]

The reason why we're not fat is because we know how to control ourselves we eat those dishes you name on special occasions and not every single day an everyday authentic Chinese meal would include a bowl of rice with one dish from each food group for instance fish, a type of meat, some type of vegetable, and soup that's pretty much it

[@QueerCripple]

I think that portion control is an important factor, and the misconception actually adds to the confusion when looking at Health differences between the countries. I have dinnerware from an authentic Chinese shop, and the size of the rice bowl is far smaller than an American soup bowl or Salad Bowl. If you are eating the unhealthy food but in a smaller portions, you are not going to have as many of the negative effects, as you make sure that you are having healthy food in addition to the junk. It is all about balance. Here in America we do a lot of sitting on the couch and eating mindlessly, taking in huge portions. Portion control in general, and differences in portion size between countries, leads to a lot of confusion in my opinion. Americans are used to huge portions, so we imagine that the Chinese or Japanese (you know, any of the stereotypically thinner Asian countries) are eating the same sort of portions as us. It is simply what we are used to and so we project that on to others.

[@QueerCripple]

Ggg Gg I dunno, I dated a Vietnamese exchange student back in high school and his stomach was not "flobby", even though he was getting a bit chubby from the pizza and cheese steaks everyone in my friend group was eating, soooooo I think people of Asian background have some sort of magic metabolite 😂

[@HopyHop1]

Well, Americans actually believe that obesity is caused by rice and vegetables. I'd bet that hardly any Asians believe this because they or someone they know practically lives off of rice and vegetables while being thin. American thinking: It's not the chicken cheese steaks, pepperoni pizza, bacon cheese burgers, ice cream, tuna salads ... we always eat that are making us fat. It's the high-carb-low-fat rice, barley, steamed potatoes, sweet potatoes, lentils, and vegetables we never eat that are making us fat.

[@QueerCripple]

Clyde Rembrandt my response about "flob" and pizza was in jest, but you're right to point out the "high carb, low fat" or other "exclusion diet" factor. A lack of BALANCED diet is also a problem, if your digestive system is out of whack, so also can be many other things. I personally suffer from issues of malnutrition while being overweight, because my body refuses to absorb certain nutrients properly... portion control, dietary balance, these are not things we as Americans tend to choose to focus on. With a healthy digestive system that comes from both of those, some pizza here and there will have less of a negative effect.

[@HopyHop1]

I'm not into "portion control" which is an euphemism for calorie restriction or crash dieting. The good news is that when one eats nothing but bananas, dates, melons, peaches, rice, barley, oatmeal, lentils, chickpeas, and dozens of other low-fat plant foods one need not starve oneself to avoid becoming overweight. I don't get why many fat people believe that the steaks with buttery potatoes for dinner and the chicken burgers for lunch don't cause weight gain, but the bowl of oatmeal they have for breakfast does. If people want to continually eat greasy fatty foods and accept the consequences from such an eating pattern that's fine, but they shouldn't pretend that the rice, steamed potatoes, and broccoli they never eat is causing them to be overweight. Moreover, one need not "BALANCE" their diet through the inclusion of dairy and animal body parts no more than people who live in the country need to balance their air quality by having a couple cigarettes a day. The situation with food today seems to be similar to how smoking was in the 1950's. Many smokers at that time were ignorant of the consequences of smoking cigarettes and would refuse to acknowledge that they may be diminishing one's quality of life. However, only the most bold apologists for smoking today would argue that there are no health consequences to smoking. The majority of smokers are honest with themselves and acknowledge that, to them, the pleasure they get from smoking outweighs the health consequences in their particular quality of life calculus.

[@djordan22]

The reason why chinese people can get away with eating all these refined carbs, rice and fried dough is simply that they have discipline when it comes to portion size. Yes, they are on a high carb diet that may spike insulin, but they aren't gorging themselves like we do over here. They also walk more and get 10 times more exercise than us. It's the 'eating to excess' culture and sedintary lifestyle of America that is the culprit of our fat assness.

[@JohnnyTheEpicBoi]

I find this to be completely false. I think it's that Asians naturally have a higher metabolism. If you walk into any asian household you'll usually find at least one person eating food. I'm Korean and I'm 20 pounds underweight but I can tell you even though I eat the amount someone that's 190 pounds eats I'm just 165 :)

It's true, most Chinese restaurants, or "restaurant chains" are not traditional Chinese, they are what I like to call Chimerican food, "Chinese food" as interpreted by Americans/westerners. Every once in a while me and my family goes to a Chinese restaurant, like actual Chinese restaurant and orders food like this. We know it's not healthy, but we don't do it everyday, and we work off the food and calories the next day and so. So, I think if you want to go for these delicious food, go for it, given you don't eat like this every day. But I didn't know General Tso's chicken is not traditional Chinese food, I learned something today.

Odds of eating unhealthy - live hard, or have health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, ect. Some people have never allowed their body to perform at a high level due to their unhealthy eating habits. Some people don’t know how it feels to be healthy, because they’ve been unhealthy their entire life.

Some of these are American Chinese (like the crab things, that originated at Trader Vics "Polynesian" restaurants). But a few of these are also common in Japan: Mabu Dofu - Super popular Lo Mein - Called "Yakisoba" in Japan, it's usually fried with Worcester sauce Fried Rice - Called "Cha Han" in Japan Fried dumplings - Called "Gyuoza" in Japan, they're super popular (and garlicky) Other popular dishes include Chili Shrimp (shrimp in a bright red mild chili sauce), Su-buta (Sweet and sour pork, but not as sweet as the US version. The name means "vinegar pork") Spring rolls (like egg rolls but much thinner and lighter) and kani-tama (soft egg omelet with crab).

Dr. T. Colin Campbell, the author of The China Study, says through his studies he has found casein to be the most relevant cancer promoter ever discovered. Because casein digests so slowly, natural morphine-like substances in casein known as casomorphins, act like opiates in the body as they enter the bloodstream. Just minutes after you eat a dairy-based food, the casein protein begins to break down. This releases the drug-like casomorphins, which attach to opiate receptors in the brain and cause severe addictions to dairy products (hence the reason they keep people coming back for more.) Casomorphins trigger such an addictive response that they’ve been compared to heroin in terms of their strength to cause food addictions and mood disorders. (Type in a search : "casein and morphine" and read all of the first 20 pages that come up) Casein’s slow digestion rate also puts great strain on the digestive system. Dr. Frank Lipman (an Integrative and Functional Medical expert), explains that the body has an extremely difficult time breaking down casein. Dr. Lipman says that common symptoms of dairy sensitivity due to casein are: excess mucus production, respiratory problems and digestive problems like constipation, gas, bloating, and/or diarrhea. Dairy intolerance is also known to cause skin issues like acne, rashes, and redness or irritation. Skip the casein and try eating more of these Inexpensive Vegan Foods That Brighten Your Skin instead!

[@reveirg9]

Kelly Tran damn, food in US seems to be poisonous half the time. I always see Americans complaining about fear of Salmonella and stuff.

[@Laeythis]

First, ignore all those people who point out every dish and it's flaws like "no fish bc mercury" or "no stirfry bc msg". If you lived like they suggest you're never gonna eat anything good in your life. Second, do not go to any Chinese restaurant who's main dishes are things that Mike hit on. Most of them, even if run by asian people, are serving westernized food and thus comes loaded with oil and sodium. Third, try new things. Don't just order things that you've seen in your local stores at every asian restaurant you go to. Instead of the kung pao chicken try a garlic snow peas stirfry, or rather than getting hot and sour soup get the west lake beef soup. Lastly, tofu, fish and veggies are your friends. Sure meat is wonderful and all that, but try to have at least one dish when ordering that's just full veggies, tofu, and or fish (and this is assuming you're sharing a few dishes instead of each getting one) It brings some variety and healthy options without losing flavor. Tl;dr, don't worry about it, just try new things

Lots of Chinese Americans in my town, too, but Fuzhounese restaurants are the predominant type of "Chinese" restaurant in town. Fuzhou restaurants typically edge out better Chinese restaurants with dirt cheap prices and big buffets full of cheap fried food (And yet I'm getting hungry just thinking of it). When I was younger we had several really lovely Chinese restaurants, now it's hard to find one that isn't Fuzhou.

[@rampar77]

I was surprise you knew all the nutrition since you ate so much sweet and high carbs food in your video. I agreed with all you mentioned. One thing I could not resist was the Chinese Bar B Q ribs. American style Bar-B-Q spare ribs is my all time favorite food, but Chinese ribs are additive. I always try to find a Chinese buffet that served rib in any city I visited or worked. I was so lucky that there was always one in where I lived in So. Calif., Seattle, Palm Beach, FL, and Fort Worth, TX.

It's not rice that made you fat. It's the sugar. Imagine a full bowl of rice concentrated into a spoon full of sugar. Sugar is in pretty much all of processed food and drinks you can find in supermarket.

[@crimsonmask3819]

Worse than that, beet and cane sugar has been mostly replaced by corn syrup due to US corn subsidies making it much cheaper. While there is not a huge nutritional difference, it still being sugar, the total amount of sugar in the product is usually increased in the conversion due to a perceptual difference in sweetness.

[@warrenkuntzmann4210]

Anas Takiyudin soda actually high fructose corn syrup, which is the #1 cause of childhood obesity and diabetes type 2

[@phillipsmom6252]

Jeff .... yep, makes my sugar level spike something awful. I eat brown rice and my serving size is 1/2 cup.

[@kkarall5060]

Incorrect. Rice contains calories too. Sugar doesn't magically make you fat, over eating does. Sugar is 100% fine in moderation. Stop acting like sugar and processed food are evil, hippie.

[@SilentArc]

no actually sugar or carbs in general will spike insulin levels and when insulin cannot take all the carbs you eat, the body stores it as fat.

C Cla he specifically stated "high heat and a lot of oil". Which is very true as oil can only reach 270°C (meat searing temp.) before it breaks down and creates aldehydes, acids, and ketones. Also, I'm a chef/nutritionist... so please, feel free to try and negate me too.

I was craving some plain fish and white rice the other day, kinda like how mom used to make. Not over-seasoned. Just the fresh, baked fish flavor and nice, fragrant jasmine rice. Now, my fridge and pantry are empty, didn't want to shop; but I had so much trouble looking for a local asian restaurant that had such a simple dish.

Good that my mom knows how to cook Chinese because of a Chinese friend of her and that's why we don't order from Chinese restaurants Here in Europe we don't have this typical American Chinese food we have only food that is from China but with a little bit more sugar because we like it a little bit sweeter We aren't Chinese

[@annainspain5176]

Here in Europe we may not have the same faux "Chinese" food as in the US but we do have faux "chinese" dishes on the menu. Like sweet and sour pork in that neon-glow sauce...and the eggrolls...and the beef with broccoli. As Mike has repeatedly said, Chinese people don't do Western broccoli.

[@annainspain5176]

Guess I'm lucky, where I live I've never seen "coconut chicken" on a Chinese menu. I did order "pepper beef stir-fry" once and it had so much sweet chili sauce on it, it was practically candied!

[@VrchatWorlds]

Anna Inspain I've never seen a Chinese dish like that but maybe it's just because I live in a other country than you ^^

[@Arcanua]

Some of these are actual Chinese dishes so, that doesn't make you any safer like he mentioned with fried dough.

[@annainspain5176]

I never had either, LOL. I think it was just that particular cook. It's a new restaurant. The cook is from Shanghai, don't know if it's a local thing or just him.

[@loganre]

Fried rice? Now i feel attacked.

[@AUsernameAndChannel]

Also Asians dont typically eat alot of sugar or processed foods which helps alot

[@annainspain5176]

Ever been in your local Asian grocery? Lots of processed foods and sauces in there. I go all the time, though I don't buy the processed stuff. I make my own sauces etc from scratch, except for obvious things like soysauce.

[@xumiao2010]

+Anna Inspain Interestingly, as Chinese I had never purchased those pre-made sauce...And lot's of "Chinese sauce" are not exist in China especially those super sweet or sweet and sour sauce

[@annainspain5176]

Xu Miao You must be a good home cook, the Chinese and Japanese customers I see in our local Asian supermarket buy the processed stuff all the time. Maybe because they're students/young professionals. Maybe they don't have time to cook or don't want to. They certainly don't eat in the local Chinese restaurants! They go to the Japanese ones though--which in my city are all run by Chinese people!

[@AUsernameAndChannel]

I mean I buy things like Mirin or eel sauce, or Gochujang(?), but generally i mean like, I dont know alot of asians who will go eat donuts, fast food/frozen food, or most canned things. Stuff like that. Myself and alot of Asians in particular that I know prefer to buy fresh meats or vegetables. Also its cheaper that way, much to the disbelief of all these fools who apparently haven't been to a grocery store complaining that eating healthy is "Too expensive" in America. Whole chicken is like 79c a pound. Broccoli is also super cheap among other veggies, and especially if you look for sales. This is also in a city, a city with little to no access to local produce. I think the real problem in health is that, westerners are less likely to know how to cook I think, compared to Asians who are much more likely to show their children around a kitchen. Most things you can even throw in the oven, like chicken, and thats super easy. Personally even, as a mixed blood I learned from my Asian mother how to cook, instead of from my father.

[@tonymoly8739]

Is it true Americans buy mostly frozen processed/prepared foodstuffs because it's way cheaper than buying fresh? Just how expensive are the fresh food supplies? Is it worth compromising with your health just to save a few dollars? From the cooking videos on you-tube, I'm just appalled that people actually use frozen cauliflowers/broccoli/berries/carrots/mixed veg or canned peas/beans/pumpkin as well as canned soup stock. The nutritional value in these products are next to non-existent. Some even prep meals for an entire week to save money. That's not eating fresh as well. In my country, these processed/prepared food items are actually more expensive as they are mostly imported. In fact they are not exactly popular and the aisles of the supermarket's frozen section are usually deserted. We prefer to cook food from scratch. Of course for the busy/lazy individuals, it will be a challenge.

[@cletedavis5849]

First of all, the food in the typical Chinese carry out/restaurant is not Chinese. It's highly Americanized Chinese style food. I asked the owner in my local carry out how much of the food on his HUGE menu was authentic Chinese. He said, maybe, three or four dishes. I have a small mom and pop Chinese restaurant that I go to that has a whole page of genuinely authentic Chinese dishes, in addition to the three pages of the typical Americanized dishes. Incredibly different style and ingredients! So, eat your General Tsao's chicken, orange-peel beef, and egg fou young, and enjoy them for what they are, delicious American dishes with a Chinese flavor!

[@rgsuki999]

Not going to lie, after working at a Chinese Restaurant for 5 years, I will say that Sweet Sour Chicken/Pork/Shrimp, Orange Chicken/Pork/Shrimp, GT Chicken/Pork/Shrimp are the three biggest rip off. GT, Sesame and Orange Chicken/Pork/Shrimp are just pre fried breaded meat that they put in the fridge and when the customer order the, they refry them and just run them in a mixed sauce in a wok. For Sweet Sour Chicken/Pork/Shrimp are probably the biggest rip off. They just pre fry the breaded meat and put in the fridge. When customer orders, they just refry it, toss in some veggies put and give to you with the sweet sour sauce.

[@blackpinkstanforever6201]

Meh... Idk about the restaurants but the one homemade are much better and healthier

[@PostPatriot]

@@blackpinkstanforever6201 Homemade? none of the above are actually chinese recipes. They were made, originally, by Chef's who happened to be Chinese and have always been restaurant menu items. If someone happened to come up with a "homemade" version, its a copy. In the video, he only mentions two or three actual chinese dishes. Mapo Tofu, steamed buns and one I forgot. The rest is just continental Asian food for people who haven't actually been there.

That is how to prep for a high volume restaurant. Are you a server? You sound like you have never worked in anything other than there.

@@jamien134 Mapo tofu and steamed buns are staple in Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine as recently as 6 months ago. Dunno where you have been. The rest is considered Pan-asian or continental asian. It may not have roots in your favorite jackie chan movie, but they have paid bills for plenty asian immigrants for as long as they have come and settled in the big mean west.

beef and broccoli is kinda health if you don't have heart disease and you sweat a lot because the sodium content is the only unhealthy element in that dish. However, only when you eat the beef and broccoli and don't pour the sauce over your rice lol

Okay, so after watching this, I made the effort to find a restaurant that sold Ma-po Tofu. Quite frankly, it wasn’t very good at all. The tofu is too soft. I don’t eat tofu, but I was expecting something more firm. I couldn’t help but think that the sauce would be better without the tofu. The best part of the dish was probably the rice that came with it, with a few dashes of hot chilli oil.

[@nunyabizness6812]

Tofu is always soft, at least the texture of say scrambled eggs. You have to eat it with lots of white rice to add to the mouth feel.
