Food, food, food, glorious food !!
Chinese love to eat and eating is the favourite pastime. Chinese cuisine is world reknown.
Chinese food has a wide range of variety & is very delicious. But most foreigners complained that they are unhealthy - too oily & salty.
What sayeth you ?

Most of my foreign friends love the Chinese food and they never told me it's unhealthy.

While, it's much better than Junk Food and most Chinese ppl are fit and in shape.

The food is great, and there is so much variety. I can go into my local city and choose from hundreds of restaurants, I can go into my local community and eat at smaller less sophisticated restaurants.... but they all serve great food. I cannot say that about the UK, Australia or the USA!

Oily yes, but the oil holds the flavour. Is it healthy? Seems to be, and it can't be any worse than the vast helpings of sugar we get served in the west in fast food, or the cholesterol in cheese on a pizza!

But I am puzzled - I have Chinese friends with tiny waists yet they eat three large meals a day. HOW do they do it? !!

I agree with inchina that Chinese food is much better than junk food and fast food like a McDonalds or a Burger King. I have tried to eat rice, vegetables and meat for a long time and I think I am in good shape.

They work hard Apault.
Further, by nature Chinese are slim in stature compared to caucasians. They do not grow sideway generally. Even those Chinese living in USA or the West and consuming western food don't normally grow sideway.
