[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 592771, member: 55568"] It's not that easy to say. When you order a chinese, you have no real idea what they put in and my guess is that they will have added a lot of sugar. Fat and sugar are the main ingredients in many take outs as they make the meagre amount of ingredients taste good and go a long way. Sometimes a chinese take out can have the equivalent of 20 odd spoonfuls of sugar. It doesn't have to be that way of course and some restaurants do good meals but generally it is about perceived value. If the customer feels satisfied, they will return and skimping on the real ingredients and feeding them sugar, salt and fat is a tried and trusted marketing trick to maximise profits. It's a lot lot cheaper and healthier to make your own. People tend not to have the time, or energy though and that's why there are so many fast food outlets now. [/QUOTE]
