Do chinese people eat chinese food all the time?

Question

And is it like what you get from the takeaway or better than this? How do chinese people keep looking so fit and healthy and live so long? Is it all down to the good food?

Answer 1

Yes they do

Answer 2

Most chinese people who live in china tend to eat a style of food which is alot different to the chinese takeaway stlye food we eat here. Some things look the same but the taste is somewhat different.
Most chinese people look fit and healthy because the food they eat is more healthy, they tend to eat a lot more vegetable based food with less saturated fat.

Answer 3

The definition of 'Chinese food' can be very loose. The chinese food you buy in Europe or US is going to be very different to what you might buy in China. Throughout the whole world there are people with Chinese ethnicity, and the food is very different wherever you go. Even throughout China the food is different from area to area.
Also, the definition of a Chinese person....a person who is currently living in China? or somewhere else in the world but of Chinese descent?
A chinese person living in Shanghai is likely to eat 'Western' cuisine regularly.
(there are a lot of unhealthy looking people in Shanghai)

I think that good health comes from the overall culture, and that depends on far too many variables.

Answer 4

What are you? do you eat the same food all the time? NO. Say may be mcdonalds... do you eat mc al the time? Not all people do! and same for Chinese, Some might eat it all the time, but not all do. people cook it in diffrent ways and eitherway they cook it, it will to you be chinese food and to them it will be diffrent food all the time!

And they watch wat they eat thats why they are so fit and live long....... they got some herbs and teas which make them strong too!

I'd eat chinese food all the time if I could. How many people have tried cooking it themselves without getting it to taste the same? I'd love to know their secret.

Answer 7

Real Chinese food is very different to the stuff you get in the UK.

Chinese people have a completely different approach to health and medicine that we do.

For example in some areas you only pay your doctor when you are well, when you become sick you stop paying him until you are well again. Nice eh?

Like all good home cooking the world over, if your ingredients is fresh and you don't use to much salt of needless fats then we would all live long healthier lives. We are a generation of fast foods, microwaved, packaged precooked chemical filled produce. yum! pass me the extra fat mayonnaise!
