i was just wondering cuzzz we order Chinese take out soo?|||If the question is do they order delivery or takeout I would say mostly no. If the question is do they eat American food then the answer is the young generation and people with money do. Here are some differences.

-Chinese people tend to stay at McDonalds and KFC much longer than Americans do. We treat it as fast food that we get fast, eat and leave, or go through the drive through. Chinese will often spend an hour or more in the restaurant chatting. To them the atmosphere is part of the draw.

- American fast food is not cheap food in China. KFC and those restaurants are the same price if not a little more expensive than in the USA. People can get a better more filling meal at local Chinese restaurants for less than $2.

- Most older people don't like it. You will see mostly people under 30 eating American fast food. If you see older people there it is usually because they have a child or grandchild that made them go.

- Delivery at the office is getting more and more popular, but you rarely see people ordering delivery at home in China. Chinese people treat meals as social events more than Americans usually do.

Hope this answers your question|||you must understand that most "Chinese food" in America is Americanized Chinese food and very different from real Chinese food which is too exotic for most Americans. The wonton soup has seaweed in it. Other items include duck tongue, very spicy sauces and other things.

In China, you'll find a lot of other Asian food as well as other types. Italian, Mexican, and others. In China there are kiosks with quick take out for commuters and others looking for a quick bite. Most of it is Chinese food but you may occasionally find a McDonalds or something similar in larger cities.|||McD, KFCs are very few and only restricted to big metro es...considering billions of chinese population these restaurant don't even sell to one % of the population.

.In McD or KFC in Shanghai or Beijing, you will see 30% non-chinese travelers are eating the food they can trust...rest of the customers are young chinese kids who drops in there more to "show-off" rather than getting hooked by the taste. So they stay there for an hour hopping that at least somebody would see them:)

What you order as "Chinese Takeout" is miles away from authentic Chinese food....it's Chinese American Food. As far as eating out....urban chinese prefers to eat out than to make a meal at home....street side vending carts are the most popular....restaurants of all sizes also sell food till early morning....thousands of variety of food....they prefer eat out than take out....

Honestly speaking. according to Chinese taste.....American foods are bland.....unhealthy too. Obesity is not a major health concern in China becoz of their healthy food.|||I'd say merely the middle and upper class do. And they are not a large proportion of the Chinese population and they live in cities.
People living in rural areas still prefers traditional Chinese cuisine and they cook themselves.
In cities we have all those kind of western junk foods and young people love it especially.|||TO BE VERY HONEST WITH YOU A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE DO . BUT THE MINORATIES DO NOT. WHY BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY HEALTHY EATERS 95 PERCENTAGE OG THEM EAT WHITE RICE IN EVERY COURSE MEAL.|||Yeah, McDonalds, Burger king, etc. are all American and in China.|||They go to McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, etc...|||Yeah. They like our junk food or fast food.|||Maybe when bored, or with a death wish.|||LOL! maybe!!|||of course|||We throw rice at weddings... do the Chinese throw hotdogs?
