You Want Fries with That?

I have to disagree with your comment on the logistics of having to hire so many people to hand-cut fries. If you have ever been to an In-n-out burger on the west coast then you can see that every one of their fries are all hand 'processed'. Granted they don't double fry, but I am sure that any up-scale eatery could manage that extra step.

The AP Slanders Chinese Food

You are exactly right when you say that the Chinese food most Americans are familiar with in the US is nothing like what you would find in China. As an American who currently lives in China, and who has been here for the last 5 years, I can say with some authority that the AP is full of it. I have gone from 2-4 servings of veggies a week in the States to 2-4 servings per day, and I hardly eat anything that is deep-fried (granted everything is fired, but I make a huge distinction between the two). Meat is usually just a flavor enhancer, and not the center of a Chinese dish. We also eat A LOT of fresh fish and other foods rich in the ultra-swank omega fatty whatever. Chinese food is also incredibly diverse, with regional distinctions similiar to that of Europe...
