Ok

Let's get back to the show

Hello

James

Hello

Everyone

Welcome to america under the microscope advancivel le

欢迎大家又回到挑战版的神话美国

So we're going to continue to talk about food

Yes

We are again we

We left off last time

Talking about all these type of food from other cultures

And also origgial food

Diffediffeces ces america

And

And also fusion food

But i hope have this question

And i hope you don't mind if i ask no matter if you go to america or see it an tv or movies

Es and can't have noticing other food

Food ququite high calcalory or fat just generally quite fatening food

What about health

Are there many health conscious americans

Well

This is actually a common misconception

A lot of americans are actually very health conscious

Yes we do have lots of unhealthy food

And a lot lot of you eat in restaurants are very high in calore

But that's not necessarily what people actually eat

But there are quite a few people who are very much pay attention to how much hegcithey have have that calories knoknowlesteps

So we have a lot of old cchehealthts healthnuts are people who are super into healthy food

Healthy living

That's right are those the people who go to whole foods

Oh

There are some of the people go to whole foods

Honely a lot of people go to whole foods

We think are it like a upper middle class type supermarket

Now so it is also related to income

Yeah

So whole foods

There are more a grocerer store for the superorganic natural produced

So that's what they market themselves us

And so the products usually arm more expensive

They don't usually sell a lot of the other big brands

They mostly just sell their own stuff focus on organic non gmo stuff

So so things to cost more another thing that i have noticed

Is that i think it's because you the united states is a nation of immigrants

And people are quite adventurous

When it comes to food

Yeah

Quite a lot of americans really like to try new flavor is new ingredients

New things

They won't have more experiences as they get kind of bored

嗯 Well

They're lucky

Because they have a lot of variety that they can try sure

You also have a lot of foodies

Oh Yes

We do have a lot of people who are what we call foods

So people who are just super interested and try new things and know lot of them more have blogs and know report on these things they ed and these new trendy restaurants

There are the ones who said hold on

Let me take some pictures or blog yeah

Yeah

That's the stereotype talking about going to new different restaurants is it very common for average american to go out

To eat

Not on a regular basis we do go out

But it's far less common than what you see here in china is it because of the price

That's the biggest and yes and yes

Much much would say lelet's say like a unaverage a meal for drink in

Let's say a mid range restaurant with drinks

With drinks

Ks with

With reasonable amount of drinks and average ninety dollars

Ninety dollars

That's

That's inclutitip or yes tip

Yes with tip

Us tip a lot right tip much higher than are ther fortunately yes

So for example in europe and in the uk

You tip ten to fifteen percent

What is the american percentage fifteen to twenty percent

So if i leave a ten percent tip that's consider too cheap

Well if you were by yourself no would notice and the waiter wawareremight be be little upset

But you never see it

If you were among a group

You would never do that because you would lose face

Oh

So if you're with a group of people

Everyone try to tip fifteen to twenty percent

Well if you're in a group of people

You try to tip fifteen to twenty percent

As the group as a group

Because otherwise you'd look ad ad among your colleagues

Es so that said some sort of hidden rule safe and all americans are okay with this so yes a of americans dislike tipping um

But we tip anyways

Because it's just ingrained in our culture

There are movements in america

And some restaurants have done away with tipping

They've instead of having a tip

They just included in price of of food

You're already paying for it

That sounds even worse

Because that you're forsted tip

Essentially well the big reason for tipping in americas

Because a lot of wagers and waitreses get paid very low wages

Oh

They get paid minimum wage below minimum wage below minism and a lot of places are actually excluded from minimum wage

Why because they get tip exactly so no wonder

If you don't tip that they

They get very upset

Yes and what what elks like for example in china

We have so many apps for food delivery is that very common for americans to do

To call all call a food

Food um for most places in america

The only thing you can have delivered this pizza in big cities like new york

You can usually get to mother ther that are new nesuly neneighborhood

But beyond that

It's not that common

Because the cost is not too too high

But labour costs for delivery guy yep what why is pizza okay

You also need a delivery guy

Usually because a delivery guy can deliver several different pizzas

Along around pizzas

Cocost

So it's

It's a bit more worthwhile and usually delivery isn't freef

I see somesometimes you see this think bfood trucks

I think don't

Don't truks

What are food trucks

Well

Food trucks are basically

Their kchchrestaurants or mobile kitchens would be a better description

I think i what kind food food did they

Did they just serve fast food

No

What yeah some serr fast foods

But some adventures of business owners try to make some gormai food

But sead in a non gormae atmosphere

Gormae food today charge goryy

No

Because they don't

Don't have worworry about atatspspthe cost uh renting a place

They have the kitchen

So they charge you more close to food costs and labor costs

Oh

So it's like a quooky way of eating very good food it cost

And what was your last food truck experience

What did you eat um the last food truck

I beat that um was in new york

And it wasn't to me think fancy

It was a simple for lawwful food food ck ck for lawful

That's middle east steryeah was it good

Pretty good

Yeah

Ah good the last thing where coming at good is sometimes you see it in movies

This is

I think it's for

Is for charity purposes for homeless people and people who cannot afford to feed themselves

You have something calp soup kitchen

Yeah

Soup kitchen are basically

But they are charities usually run by a some organization or church

And they feed homeless people or needy people

嗯

We also have things called food banks

Which give kddy families uh food

So they can cook at home

Ah so a soup kitchen is like a type of dining

Well every very basic

It's not like you sit in

In order you go

And they have this this this

And they give you that um

It's not anything

But you can

It's a place you can eat in

But food bank is they just give food materials

Yeah

You're needy okay

And these soup kitchens are they very common

I want want to say they are very common

They're much more prevalent in large cities

Um

So i think we pretty much covered a lot of topics willing to american food

Yeah
