What is it about chinese food that makes you feel even hungier than you were before you ate it? I was out shoveling all day with some friends and we smoked and used some of the money to hit up a chinese buffet, make up all that lost energy. Anyways, i had like 6 stacked plates and was stuffed, but now after smoking again i'm ready to eat some more. Is it just all the salt in the food that tricks your body? That's what i call a chinese riddle, it makes no sense.
