mirim :American food -Two trends


Many American started to be concerned with nutrition in their diet. Surely, a lot more Americans keep simple, convenient and oily food. American food trends are dividing in two parts. ; nutritious, expensive and slow or taste, cheap and fast.

America has diverse people and there exists various kind of food. However, we generally think that American food can be classified as simple and fast food such as Hamburger and pizza. It is true in a respect, that most Americans usually enjoy them even though the origin is from different places. American's life is too busy, fast-pacede and not good in their budget, so they need food that is faster and cheaper but has much more calories.


There is the other trend of America. They concern not only what they eat but also how they eat.
They want more fresh food, so they look for locally produced foods can have more of an environmental impact than consuming mass produced (and far traveling) food from the supermarket.
Besides, they spend more money to buy organic foods because they think safer to eat than other traditional farming foods.
Moreover, these people enjoy trying healthiest foods of world. They can readily approach to a variety of foods because there coexists healthy foods from various countries here.
