American Eating Habits(飲食習(xí)慣)
Eating habits in America really get a lot of criticism(批評(píng)), but the truth is(真實(shí)的情況是), it matters(要緊的) much where you look in America. In big cities, people are becoming more health-conscious(注重健康的) every day. This is shown(表現(xiàn)出) by what foods they choose(選擇) to buy in supermarkets(超市) and what restaurants they eat in. There is now a big push(高漲的熱情) for “green” foods that are grown naturally(自然地). In cities like New York and Chicago, restaurants offer(提供) new and healthy(健康的) styles(風(fēng)格，式樣) to stay ahead(保持) of the competition(競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，角逐). However, these habits contrast with(與。。。形成反差) those in America’s heartland(腹地，內(nèi)陸地區(qū)). Here, people tend to(往往) eat more traditional(傳統(tǒng)的) and higher fat(脂肪)foods, such as breakfasts of eggs, bacon(熏豬肉), sausages(香腸), toast(土司：面包的一種) and other greasy(油膩的) but delicious(味美的)foods. Fast food chain restaurants(快餐連鎖店)such as McDanald’s and the Olive Garden(橄欖花園), which serve(供應(yīng)，提供) cheaper food, draw(吸引) a lot of customers(顧客) and are popular(受歡迎) in most places.
