　　Changes in People’s Diet

　　这个表格里有20多个数据,乍一看让人眼花缭乱,其实从纵横向比较极有规律.横向比较,不难发现粮食(grain)的消费量逐年下降,5年间减少了4%,而牛奶(milk)的消费却逐年增加,肉类(meat)也在增加;纵向看,milk和meat变化趋势相同,占总消费的比例在增大,而grain比例变化正相反.从而归纳出一个总的变化规律:grain的消费量在减少,而milk和meat的消费量在增加.

　　As we can see from the table, great changes have taken place in people’s diet over the period from 1986 to 1990. While more and more high-calorie foods such as milk and meat are consumed by people, the amount of grain consumption, once the main or even the only food for Chinese people, is continuously decreased.

　　There are several reasons for such changes. Firstly, with the development of our country’s economy, people become more and more wealthy, so they can afford to buy expensive high-energy food. Secondly, nowadays, people believe that certain amount of these high-calorie food is quite necessary to their health, although it may not necessarily be true. In order to keep their body sound, they should add these food to their traditional diet.

　　So, from the above table, we see that people’s living conditions are believed to have been improved a lot,and we can expect for a more scientific and reasonable diet for Chinese people in the future.
