What is the most important meal, breakfast, lunch or supper?
I think that in China, lunch is the fundamental meal. As a student
，
I have a two-hour break,
and I can go home to eat. My grandmother usually prepares some amazing food for me and my
parents. She always asks me to eat more in order to get plenty of energy to get

back to school and study hard. Very often, dinner is a light meal. My family frequently eats porridge,
and drinks some soup for dinner. They say it's not healthy to eat a lot at night.
2. Compare the people in .your country's eating habits nowadays and 20 years ago.
Okay. I think that twenty years ago, people did not spend as much money on food as
nowadays
．
Twenty years ago, people worried about having enough to eat, rather than eating healthily.
Twenty years ago, a lot of people used to grow their own vegetables, or they would go to the market
to buy food. Nowadays, everyone goes to huge supermarkets to buy imported products from other
provinces or countries. In addition, people rarely went to the restaurant in the past, but it has become
very common these days
．
I think that people also eat a lot more meat today. Meals are richer and
more nutritious than in the past. Many people now eat oily and unhealthy food. You can see that
people in China are much bigger now than in the past. Obesity
（＝
being too fat) has become a
problem for young kids.
3. Do you think there are problems with food safety nowadays?
Yes, definitely
！
Did you hear about the milk scandal that took place in China four years ago?
It killed quite a few babies and some factory managers were actually sentenced to death after the
trial. I think we are all a bit worried about the food we eat. We wonder what chemicals farmers use
on the vegetables they grow. We are concerned with hygiene
（＝
cleanliness) in restaurants. We
hear stories about genetically modified corn and rice. It's a bit scary, and I don't know how we have
come to this
