Every country has different cultural and different foods, people how to eat food and how to prepare food are totally different. Every country has different characteristic, so I am going to talk about U.S. and Taiwan’s foods similarities and differences.

There are similarities in food both countries. Fast food in U.S., and Taiwan are very popular because every children like to eat and sometimes it is very convenient; And vegetarian is very popular in each country because some of people have religious belief and other one is some of people are diet to lose weight so they only eat vegetable without meat.

There are differences in food both countries. In U.S, bread is staple food, people eat a lot of bread like hamburger, pizza and sandwich. They just put some vegetables inside, it is very easy to make and prepare, but there are some of food the calories are very higher and fat. In Taiwan, rice is staple food and other one is noodle. We always eat rice or braised pork rice with stir-fry vegetable, sea food and meat in lunch and dinner time. We have to spend a lot of time to prepare and cook, but the calories aren’t too higher and fat. We usually ate dinner with our family at home. It is very different.

Both countries have very different cultural practices of foods: In the U.S., people eat a lot of bread. However, people in Taiwan eat rice everyday. It is their distinguishing characteristic. I think the most important thing: We have to eat healthy foods to get a healthy body.
