Learned alot from being host ‘Mum.’
I was honored to be able to be host Mum to two Chinese students this semester. They are returning to China in January, but I learned so much from them and hope they learned as much from me. One of the things I learned is that the younger generation in China is moving away from eating the traditional foods - stir fried, more veggies than meat, rice with each meal - to fast food. There is an abundance of Mickey Ds, Colonel Sanders and Pizza joints in China. Sad. The next generation will wind up with the same obesity epidemic we’re fighting right here at home.
I will be sad when Wenwen and Tingting leave. They are sweet, respectful, gracious young women. I hope we stay in touch.
