　　American Eating Habits(饮食习惯)

　　Eating habits in America really get a lot of criticism(批评), but the truth is(真实的情况是), it matters(要紧的) 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(表现出) by what foods they choose(选择) to buy in supermarkets(超市) and what restaurants they eat in. There is now a big push(高涨的热情) 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(风格，式样) to stay ahead(保持领先) of the competition(竞争，角逐). However, these habits contrast with(与。。。形成反差) those in America’s heartland(腹地，内陆地区). Here, people tend to(往往) eat more traditional(传统的) and higher fat(脂肪)foods, such as breakfasts of eggs, bacon(熏猪肉), sausages(香肠), toast(土司：面包的一种) and other greasy(油腻的) but delicious(味美的)foods. Fast food chain restaurants(快餐连锁店)such as McDanald’s and the Olive Garden(橄榄花园), which serve(供应，提供) cheaper food, draw(吸引) a lot of customers(顾客) and are popular(受欢迎) in most places.
