Chinese restaurant food bad for you?

If you think eating Chinese restaurant food is good for you, experts say you should think again.

A report released Tuesday by the Center for Science in the Public Interest found that typical Chinese restaurant menu is a sea of nutritional no-nos, according to an Associated Press report.

Foods studied were found to be laden with sodium and calories. A plate of General Tso's chicken, for example, is loaded with about 40 percent more sodium and more than half the calories an average adult needs for an entire day.
