Fast Food and Traditional Chinese Cuisine Since American-style fast food was introduced into Chinese market， it has been spreading at a blazing speed. Many people like to go to

McDonald’s and KFC for hamburgers， French fries and ice cream， but I still prefer traditional Chinese meal. First of all， by eating traditional Chinese meals， one can keep a well-balanced diet. Foods in McDonald’ s and KFC typically contain high calories and excessive calories will accumulate in the form of fat in the body;this may make people overweighed. But a typical Chinese food provides one with enough vitamins and protein that are needed to keep the physical fitness of humans. Therefore， although one can eat western fast food once in a while for a change， eating hinese food is more healthy and enjoyable.
