Haha, for real, I remember watching the cooks and seeing those burners... no surprise I can't fry that rice at home when they are working with a small rocket engine!

    High heat fried food – sounds carcinogen.

    Look, I'm not saying don't eat healthy... But something has gotta kill you. My friend died in a car wreck a few months ago, just a young healthy dude in the prime of life taken in seconds. Sure, fried food has a cancer risk, so does going outside and playing sports. If I go from eating fried rice, so be it.

    To some degree, yes, but if a bit of char gets people to eat more calories from vegetables instead of highly processed foods, the cancer risk is pretty much always offset by decreased diabetes, liver disease, etc.

    I'm assuming that the fried rice here has vegetables, of course. I know some people who don't...

    Char contains a variety of compounds that can be carcinogenic. It's usually worse with meats than veggies, though veggies still produce at small amount. However, if some char or smoke gets you to eat more otherwise unprocessed vegetables, don't worry about it; the health benefits pretty much always outweigh the additional risk.
