since ancient times, people in China have advocated "food is the most important thing for people" and pursued food, and the intake of nutrition is secondary to most people. The popularity of China on the tip of the tongue in China also reflects the pursuit of food in China. Compared with the low level of productivity in the past, with the development of China's economy, it is no longer a big problem to have enough to eat. With the improvement of material civilization, people pay more and more attention to China's food culture, and regional differences bring people visual and taste enjoyment.

The appetite behavior in the west is a rational behavior. They don't care much about the taste of food, but pay attention to the intake of nutrients, the lack of nutrients in the body, and the intake of calories, vitamins and protein every day. No matter whether the food every day is the same or not, as long as it is beneficial to the body and brings health, it can be treated indifferently and calmly. "This is in line with the metaphysical concept of westerners. Westerners are also very indifferent to taste. Chicken is chicken, and steak is beef steak. Unlike China, there will be braised beef. No matter how luxurious the hotel is in the west, the color scheme on the plate will only be some, such as salad dressing, mashed potatoes, or some tomatoes. < P > For breakfast in China, porridge, pasta and steamed bread are generally the staple foods, with some soy milk and eggs. Westerners often take bread, milk, cereal, coffee, sausage and juice as their staple foods for breakfast. Lunch in China is mainly rice, with some fried dishes at home, usually three dishes and one soup; Westerners usually choose fast food for lunch, such as hamburgers, sandwiches, mashed potatoes, hot dogs, fruits, topaz and desserts. China people's dinner is usually when their children come home from school and their parents come home from work, and the family get together and have a hearty dinner happily. Usually, they don't have the habit of eating supper. Westerners usually eat some fast food at noon for dinner, but they have the habit of eating snacks before going to bed. On weekends, they have two meals, which is called brunch in English. They say that breakfast is postponed, dinner is advanced and the two meals are merged. This is called brunch. China people treat three meals a day differently: breakfast is full, and morning exercise is the biggest; Eat well at noon, tired all morning, and promote appetite; Eating less at night, taking more rest and sleeping at night also reflects that China people also pay attention to scientifically arranging their diet for one day.
