American Food

I have been in the United States for seven months, but I still cannot be used to American food. For me, American food is very different from my home country, Taiwan. Compared to Taiwanese food, American food is always too rich, too oily, too sweet and too salty for me. The typical American food is hamburgers, sandwiches, French fries, soda, cheesecakes, chocolate, chips and deep-fried food. Above these food contains too much oil, sugar, salt, and has very high calories and protein. Having this kind of food in a long time could let us get fat, and damage our health.

 However, Taiwanese food is much healthier than American food. For example, comparing the main food in Taiwanese and American food, rice is much better for human than bread. By making bread, you need to add butter, eggs, salt and sugar. However, rice is the very much rawer and more original. You don’t need to add other artificial food. If you having bread for long time, you will find out your face become round due to adding leaven in bread. Moreover, you can also tell differences between Taiwanese and American foods from watching cooking show. In the American show, chiefs always put a lot of oil, and they make a lot of deep-fried food. In contrast to American show, Taiwanese chiefs more often use boiling or steaming ways in cooking. In this way, Taiwanese food is lighter than American food.

I am not saying American food is not tasty, but there is a lot of improvements that they can make their food healthier.  Here shouldn't has a contradiction between tasty and healthy food.
