Something tells me that none of the fast food we get at these take out places are "authentic". If the chinese ate that crap every day they would all be dead by the age of 40 and weigh about 400 lbs each. That's why I limit myself to only eating it about two or three times a week.
However, this is my celebration week so I'll eat as much as I want of whatever I want! I've earned it!

Close to work I go to an authentic Chinese restaurant that has some fantastic dishes most of which I don't even know the names of. I go with Asian friends who get a special Chinese-character menu that they order from. We usually go in groups of 6-10 and order enough dishes for our table to make our own private buffet. Yummy!

If I buy Asian made products, I am happier buying ones from either Capitalist ones (Taiwan), or former capitalist ones that were sold down the river. Hong Kong. If there are no other options, Chinese made is fine with me. I do like to support the innovators of products, rather than those who were 2nd and quick to market. Mountain Bike technology is something that could only evolve to the point it has in a Free to innovate society.

Just got back from getting Chinese at lunch myself. Spicy chicken w/broccoli, steamed rice, egg roll, crab rangoon, and a Pepsi all for $4.50, including tax. I can't stay away from that place! Vietnamese is my favorite, though. I could eat a whoe meal of just spring rolls.
Lowcel, I'll be in Charlotte the week after the group ride if you remember the name of that place.
