Do you think Chinese food is healthier than American food?

I meet my friend once or twice a month for lunch at high end restaurants and there is one place I have been eating at for around 15 years that she has never mentioned. I stopped eating there when I got a credit card cause for around 10 years or so, they would not accept credit card. My dad carries cash and he sometimes buys food there for the whole family but I never carry cash, not even $2.00.

Chinese food and American food are two extremely broad categories and there are healthy options and unhealthy options in each type of cuisine. Beef with broccoli probably heathier than walnut prawns coated in batter and mixed with walnuts in a mayonnaise type sauce but both are Chinese food. A piece of broiled fish with white rice healthier than a double bacon cheeseburger but both are considered American food. Like everything else, it all depends on what you eat.

genuine Chinese cuisine is probably much healthier. But Americanized Chinese food is just as unhealthy

The food that they eat at home yes but not the ones sold in restaurants. Chinese people love vegetables I heard.

I'm thinking Chinese food can be better, like the veggie dishes

[the-mad-german]

not at all... both nations have a gigantic pool of food variety. And both have very unhealthy and healthy food...

Don't know about that. USA has plenty of healthy food, if they're not choosing to eat it, it's their problem.
