求上海牛津高一unit 6 more reading 《balancing world diets》全文

Today, in Western countries, weight problems, heart disease and many forms of cancer are becoming more common. In Asia, such kinds of health problems are not as common as in Western countries. Asians appear to live longer as well. Their diets might account for these differences.
Asian diets generally have less meat and fewer dairy products. Eggs and chicken are eaten only a few times a week. Sweet food is eaten only in moderation. In contrast to Westerners, Asians eat much rice or noodles. Leafy vegetables like cabbage are on themenu of most Asian meals. Fresh fruit is eaten many times a day. Soya products are often used in cooking. Eating such a variety of food helps Asian people stay healthy. The methods of preparing meals are also different. Vegetable oils are commonly used in Asian cooking. In comparison, butter is used more often in Western cooking.
However, fast-food restaurants and Western-style eating patterns have become more common in Asia. This leaves fewer differences between Western and Asian diets. Asians whose diets are like westerners experience more disease and weight problems. Fortunately, many Asians who are aware of this development are paying closer attention to their diets than ever before.
