why aren't Chinese people morbidly obese when their average meal is 30% carbs 65% fat and 5% protein? I mean their general health markers should be abysmal... the entire Szechuan cuisine for example consists of pasta, rice, oil, aromatics and whatever little bits of fatty meat and gizzards they can afford.

>small portions
bro a single portion has 3000 calories in just basedbean oil. Its truly an ungodly amount of oil in every authentic househole Szechuan recipe you can find online. Not like that differs all that much in other regions either
