Shocker: Chinese Restaurant Food Unhealthy!

In the most unsurprising surprise news I've read today, the news that chinese restaurant fare in America contains more calories, more sodium, and more saturated fat than is required for a healthy diet, still shocked me: shocked me that people are shocked about this! What's important to note, is that this is food served in a restaurant, not chinese food served at home, so the portions are bigger, the sauce is richer, and more oil is used in preparation, just like at any other restaurant in America. Fer chrissakes, didja know that a half onion loaf at Tony Roma's has over 2800 calories! C'mon people! The common sense deal with a healthy diet and restaurants is: restaurants are a treat, not some place you should go for your meal everyday.
