Fast Food and Traditional Chinese Cuisine

Since American?style fast food was introduced into Chinese market, it has been spreading at a blazing speed. Many people like to go to McDonalds and KFC for hamburgers, French fries and ice cream, but I still prefer traditional Chinese meal.

First of all, by eating traditional Chinese meals, one can keep a well?balanced diet. Foods in McDonalds and KFC typically contain high calories and excessive calories will accumulate in the form of fat in the body and make people overweight. But a typical Chinese meal provides one with enough carbohydrates, vitamins and protein that are needed to keep the physical fitness of humans.

Also, people dont chew their food enough when they have western style fast food. This adds to the burden of their digestive system. Conversely, Chinese people typically have some tea before the main courses are served. And they dont rush themselves during the meal. This not only brings the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful meal, at the same time it makes them relax and feel better.

Therefore, although one can eat western fast food once in a while for a change, eating Chinese food is more healthy and enjoyable.
