Is it better to eat Oriental foods than an American diet?
Becoming healthy is not about growing up in Pennsylvania and eating like someone from Beijing. Chinese dietary philosophy suggests that you generally embrace your native foods and eat foods grown locally and in season. What is unhealthy about American foods is not the fact that they are American but that they are too often commercial inventions instead of natural foods. Stick to natural, home-grown, and chemical-free products and you’ll have a bountiful supply of healthful food choices.
