美國女孩羅斯將來中國訪問。請寫一封電子郵件告訴她中國的飲食習慣和如何健康飲食

??Dear Ross，
I`M so happy you writting to me。 I`M all right ,thank you for you kindness。On Chinese Diet, I can`t explain for you at once,because of Chinese Food having long history and differences。
??Today ,I will tell you some outline。
First , people have differnt diet habits in different place ,especially in ethnic area。
??But for most Chinese people ,they have three meals a day。We care about nutrition as much as delicious food。In the morning ,we eat something nutritious , such as porridge and steamed buns,or noodles ,eggs,and soybean milk。
?? Almost breakfast are wheat products,because they are benefical to stomach digestion。Of course ,we learn to you to eatting bread and drinking milk,some people think this food are more nutritious than wheat products。
?? At the middle noon, we pay attention to food that can fill our stomach。The most important food in lunch is rice ,just to the south area people。
??In the north area,people eat steamed buns at noon,such as they doing in the morning。The reason why there is such a big difference is north area is suitable for the growth of wheat,south area is suitable for the growth of rice。
??But they both eat vegetables and meat in lunch。Vegetables and meat are cut into pieces ,or slices ,or dilces。 than fired with vegetable oil ,or animal oil。
??This food taste very good after chefs cooking, and they also looks good and smell good。Chinese people care color ,aroma and taste of food。
??Food that have the three points at same time is qualified Chinese Food。Only good noon meal can get rid of the tierying of work 。
?? Dinner is the best ,and the most important ,such as you Americans` diet habits。We love to having dinner with all of the family ,or with friends。
??Dinner`s food is cooked in the same way as lunch ,the only difference is dinner food is more rich than lunch。Some people like to eat western food with their lover for romantice。
??But in China, we don`t approve of eatting too full at dinner,because this is bad for healthy。In some place ,people love midnight snack,for example in Taiwan。
??Midnight snack is richfull , too。Many people choose barbecue and bear as midnight snack,This is very comfortable eatting barbecue with friends at a street barbecue stall。
??
So, taody I just can tell you so much ,hope you are saticfied with those explains。I am looking forward to you coming to China ,an then I will take you to eat many Chinese Delicious Food 。
