肯德基(KFC)VS永和大王(YongHe)

  　　

　　永和大王算是我们自创的中式快餐，除了环境与洋快餐类似，卖的东西都是豆浆、油条一类的中餐，已经开始慢慢被大家接受，我也不例外。肯 德基在中国很受小朋友们的欢迎，还记得在肯德基刚刚进入中国的时候我还很小，那时和朋友之间议论最多的就是“你有没有吃过那款汉堡？买哪款套餐赠送什么玩具……”诸如此类。转眼间，它成了被披露的垃圾食品，甚 至有些还成了致癌食品。真让人分不清到底是永和大王的爷爷卖的食品健康还是肯德基爷爷卖的更健康，又或者干脆以后全DIY算了。  　 

  

　　In the West, we are extremely familiar with the Colonel of KFC and the golden arches of McDonald's. And many will say, "Why fly thousands of miles if you're just going to eat American junk food?" To that I will say a few things:
        1) The quality is different. Though KFC, McDonalds and YongHe DaWang are all "fast food" chains and certainly less healthy than home-cooking, the health value quality of the foods here is considerably higher than in its North American and even European counterparts. Portions are more appropriate; "extras" (such as cheese, added meat, sauces, or dressings) are kept to a minimum; the menu has more variety.
        2) While I would recommend eating Chinese cuisine in China, it is not for everyone and after you’ve been here a while, variety becomes your friend. An occasional indulgence in American-style fast food is not so bad. Neither is giving Chinese fast food a try (and no, it's nothing like it is in the West!)
        3) The Chinese treat these places the way they should be treated: as a place to occasionally visit, not munch at every day. This is not to generalize of course that there are no Chinese who eat regularly at fast-food joints. But the majority of the Chinese I have met regard McDonald's and KFC as a place they will treat themselves to once in a while, or indulge in when they are too tired to cook – not as the sole bearer of their nutritional intake.
        So, don't be afraid to give Chinese fast food a try. You might be surprised to see more meat than bread and lettuce and tomato added that actually look, respectively, green and red!
