2、te better eating habits.What we put in our mouths does become a part of us.But we can look at this statement another way.What we eat reflects who we are-as people and as a culture.Do you want to understand another culture?Then you ought to find out about its food.Learning about American food can giv
3、e us a real taste of American culture.,Habits:You are what you Eat!,Americans living at a fast pace often just “grab a quick bite.“. As a result,they would prefer fast food like burgers and chips,which cost less time and easy to make.Another important reason is those fast food can be taken everywher
4、e.So we can found American people even enjoy their meals during working or studying.,The Dark Side of the All-American Meal,.,The movie “Fast food nation”reflects the eating habits of America.In America, over half of the population eats fast food once a week with 20% eating fast food at least every
5、other day .And fourteen percent of the population accounts for almost half of all fast food sales. The movie also tells us the fast food industrys enormous impact on our health, landscape, economy, politics and culture as he transforms the way America thinks about what it eats.,What is “American foo
6、d“? Except for Thanksgiving turkey,its hard to find a typically “American“food.The United States is a land of immigrants.So Americans eat food from many different countries.When people move to America,they bring their cooking styles with them.Thats why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food i
7、n America.Here we list several kinds of food ,which we think they would be the symbol food of America,Special:,Sandwich One of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich.If it can fit between two slices of bread,Americans probably make a sandwich out of it.Peanut butter and jelly is an all-t
8、ime American favorite.,Hamburger,If you doubt the importance of the hamburger on American culture, then consider this: Americans each on average eat 3 hamburgers a week. And McDonalds alone has sold 12 hamburgers for every person in the world. Nearly 7% of the United States workforce had their first
9、 job at McDonalds. Hamburgers account for (占据) nearly 60% on all the sandwiches eaten. So next time you pick up a hamburger, remember its not just a hamburger, its an economy.,Ice cream,Most Americans think that ice cream is as American as baseball and apple pieBut ice cream was known long before Am
10、erica was discovered The Roman emperor Nero may have made a kind of ice creamHe hired hundreds of men to bring snow and ice from the mountainsHe used it to make cold drinksTraveler Marco Polobrought back recipes for chilled and frozen milk from China Hundreds of years later，ice cream reached England
11、 Today ice cream is known throughout the worldAmericans alone eat more than two billion quartsa year,Hot dog,You cannot see go to an American baseball game without seeing numbers vendors selling hot dogs to hungry patrons. Hot dogs are as American as Coca-Cola and apple pie. In fact, at a family bar
12、beque, you are as likely to see hot dogs cooking on the grill as hamburger patties. Some people like their franks (熱狗)covered with ketchup and mustard. Others prefer their wieners(熱狗)smothered in chill and onions. Still others enjoy their frankfurters(熱狗)topped with sauerkraut(酸白菜)and relish(酸小黃瓜醬).
13、 No matter what your choice of toppings, hot dogs are the perfect hand-held treat any day of the year.,Difference:,Vs,Customs on eating food between China and America are totally different styles,1.Food,Chinese dishes are connected tightly to vegetables .Chinese people eat various vegetables which a
14、re up to 600 kinds in number, 6 times as many as the westerners do .As a matter of fact ,in Chinese diet ,vegetables is a rather common food .Only in festivals or in the time when life condition is improved do they eat more meat.,The American are different, their ancestor lived mainly by fishing, hu
15、nting and fee- ding domestic animals and sometimes also by collecti- ng and cultivation. So they ate more meat in their diet,2. time on cooking,. China has 5000 years history. We probably spend half of time on food. The Chinese have a common saying, “The masses regard food as their heaven”,so Chines
16、e people choice food very carefully. They only use fresh material to make food . But American, they dont have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarket which only sells stored materials ,and they also prefer to make fast food which wouldnt cost much time.,3.Cooking skills,Chinese have
17、a lot of ideas and techniques for cooking. We can cook a chicken in over ten ways. Thats why Chinese food is so popular in the world .American people do not have many skills for cooking, mostly they only boil, steam and bake the food. By the way, western people are very good at making desert food an
18、d chocolate. They can make very good cake and dessert .,4. Invite people for meal,In China ,if you invite people for meal, the person who invited other people would pay for the meal . But Americans wont be happy if you pay for them . And they will always give tips to waiter after they finished meal
19、in a restaurant .Chinese people use chopsticks ,but American people use fork and knife .During dinner ,people in China would always put dishes into customers plate to show their hospitality, but the Americans will think its not healthy because your chopsticks have been used by you.,At last,we have a question:,How do you understand ”You are what you Eat”?,Thanks for your watching!,THE END,THE END,
