This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

My girlfriend's family owns a Chinese restaurant, so i knew that Chinese was bad for you a while back, plus I gained 30 lbs after continuously gorging on general tso's for a summer... the food is so addicting though, I had withdrawal symptoms after I gave it up for real Chinese.

    Or ... just take your oil on the Shangri La Diet and eat whatever the hell you want. You'll wind up under 1500 calories on the day even if you manage the whole plate of General Tso's ... so who cares what's in it?

          I always knew that Chinese food is unhealthy. That's why I eat healthy - I go to McDonalds.

          The typical Chinese restaurant menu is a sea of nutritional no-nos

          right, because I was eating Chinese for its nutritional value? C'mon, I eat Chinese because it's delicious.

          You know what makes it so delicious? The sea of nutritional no-nos.

          I enjoy swimming in the sea of nutritional no-nos.

          Anyone who seriously thought that eating Chinese food was good for them is an idiot. It's like ordering chicken strips at McDonald's.

            You should see my pantry. With the exception of whatever my roommate might have in there, it's almost entirely Chinese food, or at the very least ingredients to make Chinese-like food.

            And I didn't buy any of it under the impression it would be nutritional.

              My pantry (and refrigerator) has the ability to conjure up pretty much any Mexican or Italian dish you can dream up. Chinese food, though? I can't touch it.

                I'd be more worried about the additives and processing than any of the other stuff. I'm not trying to stay thin, I'm trying to avoid getting cancer for as long as possible. Some of the stuff that gets put into food is unbelievable.

                Very true, Yuriy.

                Cancer schmancer. :-p Mongolian beef and slow-cooked fatty pork is totally worth a tumor or two.

                None of that Americanized General Tso's or sweet & sour crap. Give me my Peking duck, my pot stickers, and my MSG-soaked superfatty pork any day.
