It began in different regions of China and has been introduced to other parts of the worldfrom Southeast Asia to North America and Western Europe.Overview A meal in Chinese culture is typically seen as consisting of two general components: (1) rice or noodles and (2) accompanying dishes of vegetables, fish, meat, or other items.As is well known throughout the world, rice is a critical part of much of Chinese food. However, in many parts of China, particularly North China, wheat-based products including noodles are most common, in contrast to South China where rice is dominant. Despite the importance of rice in Chinese food, at extremely formal occasions, it is sometimes the case that no rice at all will be served; in such a case, rice would only be provided when no other dishes remained, or as a token dish at the end of the meal. Soup is usually served at the end of a meal to satisfy ones appetite. Owing to Western influences, serving soup in the beginning of a meal is also quite normal in modern times.Chopsticks are the primary eating tool in Chinese culture for solid foods, while soups and other liquids are enjoyed with a wide, flat-bottomed spoon. It is reported that wooden chopsticks are losing their dominance due to recent logging shortfalls in China and East Asia; many Chinese eating establishments are considering a switch to a more environmentally sustainable eating tool, such as plastic or bamboo chopsticks. More expensive materials used in the past included silver. On the other hand, disposable chopsticks made of wood/bamboo have all but replaced reusable ones in small restaurants. In most dishes in Chinese cooking, food is prepared in smaller pieces (e.g. vegetable, meat, and tofu), ready for direct picking up and eating. Traditionally, Chinese culture considered using knives and forks at the table uncivilized due to the fact that these implements are regarded as weapons. Fish are usually cooked and served whole, with diners directly pulling pieces from the fish with chopsticks to eat, unlike in some other food where they are first cut. This is because it is desired for fish to be served as fresh as possible. A common Chinese saying including head and tail refers to the wholeness and completion of a certain task or, in this case, the display of food.In a Chinese meal, each individual is given his own bowl of rice while the accompanying dishes are served in shared plates (or bowls) which are shared by everyone sitting at the table, a shared service known as family style in Western nations. In the Chinese meal, each person picks food out of the shared plates with his chopsticks. This is in contrast to Western meals where it is customary to serve out individual servings of the dishes at the beginning of the meal. Many non-Chinese are uncomfortable with allowing a persons individual tools to touch the shared plates; for health reasons, additional serving spoons or chopsticks may be made available. The food selected is often eaten together with a mouthful of rice.Vegetarians (素食主义者) are not uncommon or unusual in China, though, as is the case in the West, is still only practiced by a relatively small proportion of the population. The Chinese vegetarian does not eat a lot of tofu, unlike the stereotypical impression in the West. Most Chinese vegetarians are religious. Non-Chinese eating Chinese food will note that a large number of vegetable dishes may actually contain meat, as meat pieces or bits have been traditionally used to flavor dishes. Chinese religious food has many true vegetarian dishes (no meat at all).For much of Chinas history, human waste has been used as fertilizer due to the large human population and the relative scarcity of farm animals in China. For this reason, raw food (especially raw vegetables such as salad) has not been part of the traditional Chinese diet.Desserts as such are less typical in Chinese culture than in the West. Chinese meals do not typically end with a dessert or dessert course as is common in Western cooking. Instead, sweet foods are often introduced during the course of the meal with no firm distinction made. For instance, some fruit dishes are eaten alongside dishes that would be considered main course items in the West. However, many sweet foods and desserts do exist in Chinese food. Many are fried, and several incorporate red bean paste.If dessert is served at the end of the meal, by far the most typical choice is fresh fruit, such as sliced oranges. The second most popular choice is a type of sweet soup, typically made with red beans and sugar. This soup is served warm.In Chinese culture, cold drinks are believed to be harmful to digestion of hot food, so items like ice-cold water or soft drinks are traditionally not served at meal-time. Besides soup, if any other drinks are served, they would most likely be hot tea or hot water. Tea is believed to help in the digestion of oily foods.Contemporary health trends According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates for 2000-2002, 11% of the population of the Peoples Republic of China were undernourished. The number of undernourished people in the country has fallen from 386.6 million in 1969-1971 to 142.1 million in 2000-2002. The country still receives international food aid, but the World Food Program notes that the country achieved its goal of national agricultural self-sufficiency in the mid 1990s. The World Food Program says hunger is concentrated in rural, resource-poor areas of northern, northwestern, and southwestern China.A typical Chinese peasant before industrialization would have eaten meat rarely and most meals would have consisted of rice accompanied with green vegetables, with protein coming from foods like nuts. Fats and sugar were luxuries not eaten regularly by most of the population. In Chinese traditional culture, being overweight was a sign of prosperity and wealth as only the wealthy could afford fat or sweet foods or even buy enough food to become fat. In the early 1900s, there were many wealthy areas in China, and the number of poor villages was low, but they continued to exist. As income levels have increased, Chinese diets have become richer with more meats, fats, and sugar being consumed.While economic change has significantly reduced undernourishment, new health problems related to eating too much and poor diet choices have increased significantly. The incidence of diet-related disease and weighting too much (especially among children) has risen dramatically in mainland China over the last 10-15 years. Health advocates put some of the blame on the increased popularity of Western foods, especially fast food, and other cooking products and habits. Many Western, especially American, fast food chains have appeared in China, and are highly successful economically. These include McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken. 51.
