I want to share my cooking and diet journey with whoever sees this story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I come from North China. My family and I eat typical Chinese food: Chinese bread (Mantou), rice, Chinese noodles, stir-fried mixed meat and vegetables, stir-fried mixed egg and vegetables, fried meat, fried vegetables, fried eggs, dumplings, and steamed bao. I still remember when I started cooking with my mom, I was in the first grade of elementary school. I have to stand on a stool to reach the kitchen counter and make the dough flat for my mom to use to make dumplings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2001, my family moved to Sweden. The first Western food I learned about from my daughter, who ate in school, was bread with butter. I spread a one-centimeter-thick layer of butter on the bread. After I have eaten this bread for half a year, I have been fatter, my skin has been smoother and shinier. When I went back to China, all my friends thought I was pregnant. After I started working in a nursing home in Sweden, I finally saw how Swedes eat bread with butter! While I was working in a nursing home in Sweden, I saw the patient eating typical Western food: bread, coffee, cookies, cake, the entr\u00e9e, usually with meat and vegetables, and always with potatoes or mashed potatoes, pasta, or spaghetti. Staff are allowed to eat patients\u2019 food for pay. I really enjoyed all the Swedish food. I also tried baking and cooking Swedish food at home. Although I didn\u2019t cook Swedish food well, actually, I did it very badly, my family and I liked what I cooked. Compared to Swedish food and Chinese food, Swedish food contains more dairy, and Chinese food contains more vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2005, my family moved to Boston, America. My family eats mixed Western food and Chinese food. Although my family eats mainly Chinese food, spaghetti, and pasta are always our favorite foods. We usually eat spaghetti and pasta with Chinese stir-fried meat and vegetables. I sometimes spread butter and cheese on Chinese bread (Mantou) to eat, which is very delicious. We love pizza, hamburgers, sandwiches, cake, and cookies. When we go to a buffet, I see a lot of Chinese, Asian (like sushi and stir-fried vegetables), and Western food, all of which is so great and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the field experience course, I translated many fliers into Chinese promoting fruit and vegetables. CDC recommends eating colorful fruit and vegetables throughout the day: at least 3 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit. For the Chinese, it is not difficult to achieve. But Chinese people should increase their dairy and protein intake, according to CDC recommendations (n.d.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to tell people who, like me, come from China: please try Western food. You will find plenty of Western food that you will love, and you will be creative in making your dining table both attractive and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
