NY Mayor cuts down on chinese food
Raymond Wong(can his name be any less chinese), 45, a manager at Joe's Shanghai, on Pell Street in Chinatown, hissed like an order of sparerib tips tossed in a deep fryer when asked his opinion of the mayor's nutrition decision. "He is making big mistake!" he said as waitresses bustled by him in the restaurant, which was packed for lunch with diners who apparently did not have political campaigns to prepare for.
Mr. Wong pointed to a photograph in the newspaper showing Mr. Bloomberg eating a piece of fried chicken. "Does he think that fried chicken is healthier than Chinese food?"
"Chinese people always skinny, never fat," (fat chinese people must hate this) he said, adding that when Rudolph W. Giuliani was mayor, Joe's Shanghai catered events at City Hall and at Gracie Mansion. He pointed to a photograph on the wall of Mr. Giuliani posing with the restaurant's owner.
"Maybe he is talking about takeout Chinese food," he said. "That is not real Chinese food. (really? take out food is not chinese food?) We have many strict vegetarians and finicky customers, and no one ever complained about the food being unhealthy."
Still, said Tom Pelosi, 44, who was eating cold noodles and pork dumplings with three friends at Joe's Shanghai, "If Bloomberg's cutting down on Chinese food, he's mayor of the wrong town."
Oh my fucking gawd, if the mayor wants to cut down on chinese food just let him. Whats up with these abominable folks? Yes, let's just face it. Chinese food has heavy carb and high calories. It will get your fat if you dont exercise. No, chinese people are not skinny. I am seeing more and more fat chinese people in downtown San Francisco. We shouldn't judge or generalize all chinese are skinny. How will the fat chinese feel about this? Maybe the mayor shouldn't announce his new diet to the public. He could just take a break from chinese food and eat bamboos for dinner. However, the mayor wanna eat is none of anyone business. Oh yeah, chinese food is fat fat fat. I dont care what people have to say but I still love my chinese food.
