Say it ain't so!

HEADLINE NEWS...Americanized Chinese food is (gasp!) unhealthy and loaded with salt and a lot of fat! The horror! Quick stop the woks and deep fryers and go grab a Big Mac. Ok I wouldn't advise going to McDonald's unless you really had that hankering for you (you know what I mean, you gotta have those fries sometimes). I came into work this morning to my officemate's exclamation of "You have got to be kidding me, like people didn't know this already!" over a Reuters article about how Chinese food was found to be unhealthy (you may read it at http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070321/ap_on_he_me/diet_chinese_food;_ylt=AsbaTTc_9.VDAk6_cuSBV_IDW7oF)

OF COURSE anything deep fried or covered with a delicious rich sauce is going to be bad for you. I think the mystique still surrounds Chinese food -- how do they do it? How is this dish made? Unfortunately I know, but I still eat Americanized Chinese food. It is ok. You live once, deal with it.

For those who have wondered -- our vacation was fabulous. The Oregon Coast was marvelous and my new favorite flavor of Tillamook ice cream is Chocolate Peanut Butter. Also note -- very unhealthy for you.
