More and more Chinese people care for their own health.I come from England.I came to China five years ago.I began to learn cooking Chinese food from my father.When I was fifteen, I began to help my mother in the kitchen.My father is a very famous cook in Beijing.So he taught me many things about cooking.In the past three years, I never stopped learning cooking.When I saw a book called The disease eating out can be gone back again by eating(《把吃出来的病再吃回去》), I began studying the book..The writer of the book is Zhang Wuben.He said he was a famous nutritionist(营养师)and well-known traditional Chinese doctor.He asked the people to eat eggplant(茄子)and gram(绿豆).In China, Zhang Wuben's book has been popular in the past few years.
My father was invited to talk about the book in May, 2010.A large number of Chinese people believe they should eat eggplant and gram to be healthy.I have visited a lot of Chinese restaurants in Beijing and studied hundreds of restaurant menus.I talked to lots of doctors about eating and nutrition(营养).They thought that Zhang Wuben's words violated the science.He told a lie.The fact is that it's important for us to eat a balanced diet and not just to eat eggplant and gram.
