Subject: What do you guys eat everyday?
 

Wanna ask all immigrants a question, did you guys change meal habit after you came to Canada?

Do you find a difficulty to purchase or cook your home country meal in Canada?
Or do you just simply adjust to eat Canadian food?

I found one surprised thing when I came to Canada, I don??t have any difficulty to find material for Chinese food. Amazing so many white people eat tofu here, they even eat more than me,

There is one thing in Canadian youth culture that I don??t want to adapt. That??s the unhealthy diet. The place I work has a lot of kids like below 20 working here too, check out their lunch, chips, pops, might have some hotdogs too, or simply just go to food court to purchase junk food costs you 5??7 bucks. Sadly, all school district has vending machine that sells junk food like chips, candy, and kids just buy those for lunch, oh my god, what gotta happen for our next generation Canadian? It will only cost taxpayer more money to support health care which primary heath care doesn??t teach kids how to eat healthy food in order to prevent illness.

For myself, I cook everyday, go to grocery store every week, in order to buy only fresh vegetable. I packed my food to lunch box and warm up at workplace next day.

I usually eat rice, tofu, and vegetable, mostly Chinese food. I found I probably only spent less than 200 bucks, which includes milk, fruits everything for a 20s 5.7, 150LB guy.

I live by the ocean; there is tons of food in the ocean too. Go to get a sports fishing license which is 29 dollars (including salmon sticker) , allows you to fish for a year.
I usually pick up oysters, clams on the beach, go to crab fishing every month.
There are seaweeds on the beach you can pick it up too.
Take crab meat out, mix with seaweed, you can make California roll by yourself free too!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, if DB can cook, so can you.
I believe keep healthy diet is the essential for your life, if you don??t have a healthy body, how can you start your cash flow?

my guy found our chicken tasted strange (fed different) our coke tastes different (different water and sugar) we cook our veggies different (grilled, crispy) different varieties of fish.

Not saying it was bad, just different. He was used to smaller and more frequent meals. found having a big meal in the evening very strange.

Chicken does taste different from Asian one, however, you can purchase Asian chicken at local grocery store.

However, salmon, oyster are the best I have ever eatten.
My Japanese friends told me that you can only eat such fresh sashimi(raw fish) in Canada ,even better than Japan, because of freshness.

Perogies make you gain weight.

well, back to my topic, I think public really need to educate healthy diet

I have a very good friend from Fiji. we often take turns cooking dinner for friends. I make home made perogies - which are his favourite... and he makes curry for me!

if you are going to die from calories... perogies is the only way to go.
