Food is a highly personal choice, and we're spoilt for choice in today's world. Western, eastern, Mediterranean, Chinese, pan-Asian, and more—there are literally hundreds of different types of cuisine—and we're just getting started. Food is love, and love is food. Now, since we're on the topic of food, let's talk about where our food comes from.
When it comes to food, there are two schools of thought: Eastern and Western. The Eastern diet consists of food from China, Malaysia, India, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Korea, and Japan. The Western diet consists of food from the USA, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Belgium.
So, who wins the Eastern diet vs Western diet showdown? Is it going to be east, with its Peking Duck, sashimi, Pad Thai, banh me, spring rolls, biryani, tandoori and whatnot? Or is it going to be the West with their fish n chips, pizza, sauerkraut, sausages, steaks and more? If this were an actual food blog about taste, it would be too personal, and we wouldn't need to write it.
Fortunately or unfortunately, this time, it's about much more—nutrients and nutrition. We have to decide which school of cuisine has the healthiest food.
