PART 2 - Chủ đề Food

One of the most memorable meals I’ve had happened to me when a couple of years ago when I was in the hospital. I had to have an emergency gallbladder removal which produced some minor complications which left me stranded in the hospital for a week. The first couple of days went just fine, I had enough to entertain me there and I wasn’t in any pain so it felt somewhat like a second-rate vacation.

By the end of the week though, I was losing my mind from the sheer boredom of being there. After 4 days in a hospital I was very vocal about the food they served, so three of my close friends decided to visit me and throw a small feast where each one cooked something different. My best friend made a 4 cheese mac and cheese, which she knew was my favourite, and it was a delectable mixture of cheeses that instantly made my mood improve.

Another one made this plate of savoury snacks that I never really understood what it was, but it was pretty good. But the cherry on top of it all was my last friend, he is not a cook by any measure, so he decided he would bring as dessert a massive bowl of Jell-O to share. Here’s the kicker, he did not process that there’s a reason for that to be refrigerated and by the time he got to the hospital it had melted halfway and spilled everywhere in his car.

This was a memorable meal thanks to the kindness shown by my friends and their eagerness to lift my spirits while I was trapped in the hospital, but it is cemented in my brain forever after seeing my friend’s failure with Jell-O, which of course I remind him every time we have Jell-O.

PART 3 - Food Topic

1. Describe what you think is a healthy diet

I think it is a lot less complicated than most people think, even if it isn’t as simple to follow all the time. A balanced diet should include sufficient foods from each of the basic food groups. Eating a variety of foods from each of these groups will guarantee that your body will receive all the nutrients and vitamins it needs to function.

2. Why do you think some people choose to be vegetarians?

Although I’m not a vegetarian, I still believe it’s good to eat sufficient vegetables and fruits. I think there are several reason one could turn vegetarian, from religious to health concerns for example. I think several people become vegetarians out of an elevated sense of moral superiority and perhaps those are the loudest voices we usually hear. Other simply want to reduce their carbon footprint on the planet and a good portion also does it out of health concerns due to the chemicals or hormones going into livestock.

3. Is the food that people eat today different to the food that people used to eat in the past? If yes, in what ways has it changed?

In the past, the choices of foods were limited but they were fresh and people could rest assured of its quality. So it’s not surprising our ancestors enjoyed greater longevity than us. Nowadays, we have chances to taste various foods of different cultures and nationalities, being unique and fascinating in their own ways. Even so, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be as there have been many reported cases of food poisoning, especially in developing countries, where food safety is a pressing concern.

4. How do you think the way we eat will change in the future?

I think we will be forced into change out of necessity. Climate change is drastically altering how we grow food and the types of food we can produce in mass quantity. In order to survive, our diets will need to change in order to fit the production of food. Hopefully this will mean that our diets will become smaller and healthier, but I tend to be very skeptical. The other alternative would be for innovations to develop in order to improve how we eat.

5. Is ‘fast food’ popular in your country?

I think there is a rising trend, especially amongst younger people to lean towards fast food. Luckily fast food in Vietnam is a little healthier than it might be in other places. Traditional foods like pho, fried rice or banh mi, which can be considered street food are also given the fast food label for their swift of service. So people who are short on time to eat, lean towards these kinds of meals as opposed to say, a hamburger. However, fast foods are gaining in immense popularity, you can see it by the amount of chain restaurants appearing around the country.

6. Do you or, do people in your country generally prefer to eat at home or eat out?

If you ask me, I’d say that by and large, the folks in my nation would show a greater preference for home-cooked meals. The reason behind this is we are very traditional people, so in a way it's just expected for us to have family meals or at least cook for ourselves. Having said that, some people are quite up to their ears at work and would rather order a meal at a restaurant instead.
