Q: Is it safe to eat Chinese food everyday?
I'm worried
7 years 36 weeks ago in Health & Safety - China
It really depends what you eat. If you are constantly eating 火锅 and 干锅 you are sure going to get sick. Also, eating frequently from those street vendors will eventually get to you. Think about all the car exhaust that that comes in contact with the vendor's food. If you are getting sick often you should think about limiting the amount of spices in your food. This happens to me quite often, so i usually eat much simpler foods like noodles, dumplings, and specially home cooked meals. Also, I'm not sure if you do this but clean your chopsticks before using them in restaurants, unless they are already vacuum sealed. Try to also carry hand sanitizer if you can. Anyways best of luck and hope you get better.

Cooking at home is always the best. And it's much safer and cheaper.
But I constantly get lazy to cook, but I don't eat street food, quit drinking, not smoke either. I just eat in organized chain resturant.
No. It will kill you eventually.

Can confirm, I knew a man who ate nothing but Chinese food and then bam, just like that he dropped dead at 93. He was crossing the road eating a spring roll and got hit by a bus.
ScotsAlan:
Was he hit by that big straddle bus :-) Sliced in two as he stood in the so called safe haven between lanes of cars.... OMG. Was he part of the 300m experiment? :-)
RandomGuy:
It's a proven fact that 100% of every people who breathe eventually die, try holding it.
I eat Chinese every day.I still very well.Unbelieveable,why you thiink eat Chinese food is not safe.
Hotwater:
Melamine in baby milk, gutter oil, fake eggs, salbutamol & clenbuterol in pork, bad hygiene in kitchens, just to name a few.
I eat Chinese food almost everyday. Mostly cooked by my wife.
Thing is, what do you mean by Chinese food? You mean the cooking type or food in general. Even in western restaurants most of the ingredients are produced in China ((except the imported cheeses, sausages, some meat, etc).
Yes there must be a factor of risk due the points in my comment above to our Chinese friend but not all the food here is like that.

so i just get the second email from the administrator:
the first was to warn me to now insult Vicky.,,
this last to cancell a post of mine which according to him/her was not rilevant.
What's the point of Admin canceling the GreaTao account if they're just going to do the same thing with a different account?

Foreigners are supposed to be stupid and not notice things like this.
