“ETA: I once asked a Chinese woman how they managed to remain so slender when many of us would get so fat eating all this Chinese food, her reply was that 'you English' eat way too much of what comes with the rice, when we eat more of the rice and less of the sauces and additional fatty items She said do you really think we eat the food you eat, in the quantities you eat, when you have a Chinese meal/take-away?
