I love Chinese food [correction, to be accurate I love Americanized Chinese food] but there is something about it more than any other food that whenever I have it I always end up gorging myself and eating way more than I know I should. Part of the problem is that old myth about how they say with Chinese food when you eat it, you will be hungry again in an hour, regardless of the truth or inaccuracy of that statement somehow in my mind I always seem to use that as a justification to myself. I think well if I am just going to be hungry again in an hour I should just eat as much as humanly possibly right now.

Though I have never found this to be a good idea, not once have I thought, wow I am really glad I ate way more than I should have, that worked out well. Yet, this seems to never stop me, because there is something particularly addicting about Chinese food that once you start eating it, you don't really want to stop.

It is one big evil conspiracy.

    It's the MSG (Monosodium glutamate) DM which is very heavily used in Chinese food. Any type of food which you can't seem to stop eating you'll probably find has MSG in it (Pringles, for example).
    Though it is true that an hour after eating Chinese food you'll be hungry again, at least it is for me anyway. Not so with Japanese food though, that fills you up (it's all the noodles!!!)

    Thanks Fifth. I bet you're right. Some places advertise no MSG used.

    I find that if i fill up on the rice first, i dont eat as much and end up with more chinese food left over for the next day. If i mix it all up and eat it all together... well the whole thing will be gone in no time at all! I love chinese food!
