Food!

Americans are the fast food people! I heard that a lot, but I did not know why American like the fast food so much, so I read and asked the people about it. Time is a part of the American culture. Americans eat fast foods a lot because they do not have much time to spend it on foods. Also, the kind of food does not have high value for them. They want just a good food to make them live. As a result, there is a statistic said that the United States has the biggest percent of fat people. Also, a lot of Americans live alone without their family especially the students in the university, so they don’t have time to cook or to clean after cooking. They prefer to eat outside or order food from restaurants, and this point happened to me a lot when I come to the United States. I finished my classes in the afternoon, so there is not much time to cook and to do my homework. I only cook on the weekend, which is the opposite in Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, I was eating what my mom cooks everyday; I had eaten fast food only in the weekend. Fast food restaurants are not popular in Saudi, but people sometimes go to them to change the routine. Saudis like fancy foods, and they spend a lot of money on foods. We have in Saudi Arabia a huge diversity of foods, because people do not like to eat the same food every day. I really miss the food in Saudi because I cannot find it here in the United States.
