Rita is reading in the library.Read the following text.
Eating In or Out?Hong Kong is a hub of cuisine from
al l over the world. Thai, Russian,
Italian, French … you name it, this city
has it all. But which type of food has
the most fans?
According to a survey, Chinese food
tops the list of Hong Kong people’s
favourite food. More than 40% of the
interviewees say they like Chinese
food the most, followed by Japanese
cuisine and Thai food. (See Figure 1)
And where do Hong Kong people love
to have meals? Unexpectedly, only a
few choose to have meals at home.
Most of the interviewees answer that
they like dining out in small restaurants.
The number of people eating in fast
food shops is even more than those at
home. (See Figure 2)
Eating out has become a trend in
Hong Kong. It is the result of a better
economic environment and the
increasing number of small families.
Busy young couples think that cooking
is troublesome and time-consuming.
They prefer dining out to eating in.
Nutritionists advise that if people
eat out too often, they may become
overweight and have high blood
pressure or a bad circulation system.
To lessen the risk, have more fruit
and vegetables. Avoid fast food and
snacks.
