Is my household the only one in America that takes the Chinese food out of the container and eats it from plates? I don’t know about you, but one of the hallmarks of eating Chinese in my house is sharing the different items with other family members. That being so, eating out of the containers doesn’t work very well. I suspect we are not alone. So, again, is it only me that gets annoyed at the cliche of every instance of eating Chinese food shown in a movie or TV show has the characters eating out of the boxes? OK, it is a recognizable motif, but does it advance the story line? No, I think it is lazy writing, lazy directing, lazy editing and lazy producing. Most recent offenders (that I saw): Ghost Whisperer and Numbers.
