Every ethnic, religious group would prefer to be able to make MORE money as opposed to making LESS money.

But lets be honest about this... Some ethnic groups are just really  bad at it.  :::D

As far as Chinese food, This Jew LOVES it.

Hearing Jews enjoying Chinese food is strange to me and... New. What gives?
Too much fried oil food, tons of pork, non-Kosher, fast food type meals.

I've never heard that rumor. But it makes sense to start rumors that brainy people like your food. It's good advertisement.

I'm not even really sure what real Chinese food is other than I know they eat ducks and pork and rice and vegetables. I like American Chinese foods though like egg rolls and sweet & sour chicken and pork and general tso's. I probably could get more authentic Vietnamese food here in Texas than I could Chinese food. We have large Vietnamese communities here. That's how I was able to get a Durian to eat last year, that was awesome.

Vietnamese soup (Pho) is becoming very popular in California.  I go to a local pho place quite regularly, and see plenty of non-Vietnamese there.

 Their are (Glatt) kosher chinese food resturants/take out. In fact I eat it a few hours ago today. And yes, I'm Jewish and I love it.

I think Zelhar means MSG, short for monosodium glutomate, which is a preservative.

You did really ? I just know about it from the web.

MSG is used to as a food additive to add umami flavor to cooking which is very popular in chinese and other east Asian kitchens. Soy sauce and other fermented products contain some msg naturally but most of it is added artificially to enhance the flavor.

From the description the effect of an "overdose" on some people is that of a hangover combined with bothering and scary sensation of creeping numbness and weakness in some areas of the body.

And I am worried also from the long term effect of this stuff.

I always knew jooooz are schmart...and make lots of money...and eat chinese food.

Kosher Chinese, Mexican, and Italian restaurants are all great.

The steamed veal dumplings at Cho-Sen Village are AWESOME!

Otherwise, my favorite food is sushi!
