Changes in People’s Diet

Some noticeable changes have taken place in people’s diet in China in recent years. The proportion of grain, which is the staple food for many Chinese people, has decreased significantly, while the proportion of milk and meats has been increasing considerably.

Many factors contribute to the changes in diet. First of all, with the raipd development of the economy, Chinese people are now more affluent and they enjoy a higher standard of living. As a resultm they can afford to buy more milk and meats on the market is another factor. The abundant supply of meats and milk makes possible these changes in people’s diet.

The changes in people’s diet, however, cause some concern. Health experts believe that it is good to add some meats and milk to people’s diet, for meats provide protein, and milk calcium, both of which are indispensable for people’s health. However, too much of them may also pose a serious health problem: overweight. Experts remind us to bear in mind that proper proportion of different food groups is of vital importance for one’s health, so the best policy is to strike a balance in one’s diet.
