Changes of people's diet since the reform and opening up

With the establishment of the household contract responsibility system, the prices of agricultural products have risen and the "scissors difference" between industrial and agricultural products has narrowed, which has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers, liberated agricultural productivity and promoted the rapid growth of grain output.

In 20 12 years, China's total grain output reached1224.5 billion Jin, double the ratio of 1978. In 20 17, China's total grain output reached1323.2 billion Jin, an increase of 98.7 billion Jin or 8. 1% compared with 20 12.

From 65438 to 0978, the proportion of national residents' food expenditure (Engel coefficient) reached 63.9%. Forty years later, with the improvement of residents' income level and the richness of food types, people's requirements for food consumption are not only to eat well, but also to eat healthily, and the food consumption structure has also changed greatly.

In the early 1990s, the rapid economic development brought about a revolution in food culture. Tasting delicious food in restaurants is no longer out of reach. Anyone who has a festive event is willing to set the table in the restaurant, which saves trouble and has face. At that time, buffet was just popular, and many people were curious and wanted to try it.

Later, high-end ingredients such as shark's fin, abalone and sea cucumber began to appear in front of people, and the business of restaurants operating Cantonese cuisine and raw seafood was very hot. Since then, the major cuisines in the country have infiltrated each other, and the coarse grains that disappeared from the table were unexpectedly favored by diners and once again became the new favorite on the table.

With the influx of cultures from various countries, Chinese food has been difficult to satisfy people's tastes. Russian western food, French food, Italian pizza, Japanese food, Korean barbecue and foreign fast food have entered one after another, and people can eat all over the world without going abroad.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a rich diet led to a large number of obesity and diseases, and people began to seek a healthy diet. Coarse grain fruits and vegetables have replaced chicken, duck and fish and become healthy and delicious.

People's eating habits have changed from the original full-meal type to the nutritious, fresh and simple type. Vegetables should be pollution-free, grain should be produced every year, seafood should be eaten fresh, and even peanut oil should be specially found to be non-genetically modified. People's critical eyes are increasingly turning to fresh goods, not prices. What kind of food is nutritious and what kind of food is anti-aging is a topic that people talk about.
