| Thursday, May 05, 2005 Unhealthy bites
Sonja found this great IHT article about the cultural backlash in Hong Kong regarding the government's report that dim sum may be bad for one's health. People are freaking out! They're dipping their fried morsels in water to wash off the grease! They're ordering overpriced 'healthy' items! What oh what is the world coming to?!

Seriously though: of course dim sum isn't healthy! It doesn't mean that it's a bad cultural phenomenon. If you look at the great food cultures of the world, you realize that not many of them are healthy. How about the alarming universality of fried dough? (Which is also bad for you, but delicious of course.) Frites? Spring rolls? Fried chicken? Curry? The list goes on and on.  Who cares if it's bad for you....
