In this era of material scarcity, radish and Chinese cabbage once became the main dishes on the table of ordinary people, replacing food. Every household is pickling pickles, and it seems that only on holidays will jiaozi be "almost unrestricted". Occasionally, important guests will be arranged to kill chickens and ducks for entertainment In ordinary families, women still don't eat with guests. Especially in small and medium-sized cities, there are only elders and men at home at the dinner table.

Before 1950s, the standard of health was "only not getting sick". Twenty years later, this standard seems to have not changed-a very important reason is that there are not so many diabetics in this era, and the sweetest baked sweet potatoes and popcorn can only be enjoyed by children occasionally. The symbols of this era are very similar: push open different doors, the dishes on each table are similar, the furniture in each room is similar, people's clothes are similar, and their desire for life is similar.

1980s: From Food and Clothing to Well-off Society

In this era, China people, who are moving from food and clothing to a well-off society, are gradually showing an unprecedented abundance at the dinner table. In the past, the limited supply of Chinese cabbage has given way to fungi, loofah, tomatoes, mushrooms and peas. Especially in the middle and late period, the vegetable baskets of urban residents can be filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables all year round.

When the initial supply of grain, oil and non-staple food was opened and all tickets were expelled from the historical stage, it heralded the arrival of a new diet era: braised pork, which can only be served on the table on holidays, has gradually begun to increase. Salmon and perch, unheard of in the past, have also become delicacies on people's tables. Everyone has an obvious feeling that the living standard is changing from food and clothing to a well-off society. Even so, milk that can obviously improve physical fitness is still unpopular in this era. Until the middle period, the whole country implemented the vegetable basket project, including poultry, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables. After nearly ten years of hard work, the shortage of non-staple food supply has been completely solved.

At the end of 1980s, coarse grains gradually faded out of people's dining tables, with flour and rice becoming the leading roles and coarse grains becoming the supporting roles. Some coarse grains have been eliminated, at the same time, game and seafood have gradually begun to appear on people's dining tables, and various snakes and mice, as well as giant salamanders, pangolins and civets have come out one after another. At that time, it was not forbidden to eat these foods, so people liked to eat those delicious braised foods. From these dishes, people can vaguely see that dawn has arrived.

1990s: The arrival of gluttony era.

From the early days of this era, the rich in China can even eat hundreds of billions of yuan at the dinner table a year, and the types and grades of dishes have begun to enter the peak of history. Abalone is the most eye-catching on the dining table in this era. Since ancient times, this dish has been a symbol of aristocratic life. In various dynasties, eating abalone was often a happy enjoyment that only the rich and nobles, emperors and generals could have. Although its nutrients are not the most complete, its psychological satisfaction is extraordinary. In this era of "chasing psychological satisfaction", a gourmet pointed out the extent to which abalone was warmly welcomed in Chinese mainland: "There is a certain distance between food and nutrition. At the dinner table, the most important thing is taste rather than nutrition. Eggs have nutritional value, but they cannot replace people's feelings about food. There is also a cultural pursuit. "

The coarse grains that have disappeared have been favored by diners unexpectedly and returned to the table again, becoming the new favorite of China people. At the same time, China people put milk on the ordinary dining table from the position of special nutrition, so china dairy began to make great strides and entered a period of extraordinary development.

With the prosperity of life, Chinese food has been difficult to satisfy people's appetite. Russian cuisine, French cuisine, Italian pizza, Japanese cuisine, Korean barbecue, American McDonald's, etc. Entering China in succession, China people can eat all over the world without going abroad. No matter where you go in this era, restaurants and bars of all grades and tastes can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. The following consequences are: Due to bad eating habits, the number of patients with cardiovascular diseases, tumors, diabetes and obesity continues to rise, so people begin to lose weight on a large scale.

2 1 century: eating and choosing

Spicy crayfish, spicy crab and boiled fish are the table culture of this era. However, at the beginning of this century, a sudden SARS epidemic and endless "shady" exposure killed many urbanites. People began to echo the theme of health, and fruits and vegetables returning to nature were re-valued. According to the survey, more than half of urbanites now include fruit in their daily health necessities. A large number of merchants launched a variety of natural green series foods in time on the grounds that they are fresh and healthy, and of course, the most important thing is that the calorie content is very low.

The development of milk has reached its peak, including pure milk, skim milk and calcium milk. In the past, people liked to buy refrigerators with large freezers to store chicken, duck and fish, but now they begin to pay attention to eating nutritious fresh food. Vegetables should be fresh, food should be fresh, chickens and ducks should be slaughtered, and fish should be lively. Tender cucumber with dew, fresh litchi flown in by air, shrimp still alive on the table, fresh peaches with green leaves, people's critical eyes in the market are more and more focused on fresh goods, not on price. What foods are nutritious, what foods can prevent aging, and how to match them to keep the body's acid-base balance has become a hot topic-China people's health concept has stepped onto a brand-new step in a sober and timely manner at the beginning of the 2 1 century. But from a scientific point of view, it still seems not enough.
