According to the Han dynasty, "People
are the most important to an emperor, while foods are the most important to the
people". Eat is the most important thing to people. We can’t live without
eating. There is a long history in the food culture. And in every different
culture has different eating habit and food culture, so does the modern
society.
In Taiwan, people have their eating habits.
We often categorize Taiwan as north, middle, south and east. Each place has it
own eating tradition and taste, too. It is really interesting that in such a
small island has this special phenomenon. In the north of Taiwan, take Taipei
for example, Taipei is a busy city, there are lots of type to choose for eating,
such as fast food restaurant, coffee shops or some eateries. To me, the most
different food is intestine. Intestine vermicelli is really famous in Taipei,
and to other place’s people, they sometimes can’t accept this cuisine because
it seldom be added in their daily food life. In the south of Taiwan, take
Tainan for example, the food in Tainan is sweeter than other place. Some said
in 17 century Dutchman came to Tainan, and think Tainan is a good place to
plant sugarcane. Tainan became a big city that exported sugarcane. And it
influenced the food taste of Tainan.
Although there are lots of delicious
Taiwanese foods, my favorite is McDonald. When I was little, I had never eaten
McDonald or even just a French fries. My schoolmates were always talking about
how delicious the food was, and how fun the toys that gave with the meal set. The
reason why my parents forbid me to eat McDonald is because they think this kind
of fast food isn’t nutrient and safe. After I grow older, I went to McDonald
with my friends after the school is over. They were so surprised that I never
ate McDonald before. I ordered a lot, Oreo cookies McFlurry, Big Mac, chicken nuggets
and French fries. At that moment, I felt so satisfied that I finally ate my
dream food and they are so delicious. I love them so much that I really want to
eat them everyday, but I know fast food isn’t good for human and especially
teenager, even though everything in McDonald is so attractive and fantasy. So I
control my desire of eating McDonald so hard, and only eat them when there is a
special day or typhoon day.
In the modern 21 century, as the progress
of technology, there are lots of food is made by machine but not the real food,
sometimes human beings only remember to taste the food but forget to eat.
Eating is the most important things to human life, how to eat well, how to eat
healthy, is much more important that the price and the taste. Although there
are lots of choices we can choose now, being a smart customer is crucial, too.
