8. Reading Response #2

    This news is about recommendations that the DGA-Dietary Guidelines for Americans makes every five years.  This year, DGA suggests people eat more fish and seafood, as well as having healthier diets like eating breakfast, eating less sugar and salt and avoiding fast food traps.
    In this passage, DGA gave guidelines like controlling caloric intake, increasing the calories you burn by moving more and sitting less, and eating more fruits and vegetables and cutting down on sodium, sugar and fat.

    In my opinion, this article suggests Americans to have healthier eating habits like having breakfast, eating more fruits and vegetables and cutting down the consumption of soda and sports drinks. And the guidelines are only small part of the efforts to address epidemic obesity in the US, which includes new food labeling that will help consumers to know how much of sugars, sodium, fat have they take while eating the food. It also concludes the First Lady's Let's Move campaign that encourages children to become more active.
    The reason why I choose this article is that the DGA has been making suggestions for American people about eating since 1980. It really made a great contribution to help the Americans have better lives. It reminds me that, as the economy develops so fast in China, we have neglect a lot of things such as making people have better eating habits. As is known to all, nowadays, there are too much problems on the quality of food in China. It has becomes concerns that could we Chinese eat higher quality of food and do not have diseases? As a result, we Chinese still have a long way to improve our life standards and make ourselves really happier than before.
