Lead by nutritions and nutritionists


            Food revolution has never stopped during the time. Actually, in the past time, especially in China, just like the war period in America, the biggest problem of food is we don’t have enough food to eat. But at time, our satisfaction with food was very high. We will be very happy just because we have food to eat. We would be appreciated if we have food to eat. The index of happiness of food is much higher than today’s.  Because at that time, we never worried whether the food we eat contains much pesticide, whether it was added by a lot of artificial things, and whether it has a lot of Clarions and will make us fat.  Just as Pollan and Dupuis writes, people now try to follow variety of suggestion of eating so that can be healthier.  In my mind, people today have more food to eat, and should be healthier than the past, but it seems like that we have more problem of eating. Our world is building and re-building by one and one piece of suggestion given by variety of authority. For many times, we follow strictly a suggestion; in turn found it was totally wrong. For an example, there was one people was very famous in China, named Wuben Zhang. He claims that he is a nutritionist, and he spends a lot of “eating” about eating, like eating raw eggplant can help you defend cancer. There are many people believe him, and following what he said. But in the end, many scientists demonstrate that he has no solid evidence to support his ideas. The event can reflect a fact, people now have the power to choose what to eat, so everyone wants to be healthier and keep nutrition balance. It is good a trend, but the problem is whether we are too strict by these. Can we really choose the right suggestion to follow? The eager of heath sometimes let us lose a lot of happiness. We must try to eat less to keep figure, and eat many things we don’t like instead of what we like. After read the two articles, my question is that, in the modern time, how we can balance the nutrition of food and the favor of food.

  1. It is interesting to read in your post that food fads are something the United States and China share. Raw eggplant does not sound especially tasty.
