Young Chinese in diet crisis

中国年轻人陷'吃饭危机'

Young Chinese are paying less attention to their diet, as the fast rhythm of city life and working pressures are leading them to skip meals. According to an online survey released last week by the China Youth Daily, more than half of 21,494 respondents said on average they only ate 2 and a half meals a day. Among all respondents, 59.7% were the post-80s generation and 24.1% were in their 30s. Some 32.4% said they didn't have breakfast due to work, and 28.1% had dinner late. Also, 23.7% had instant noodles or crackers instead of a proper meal.

随着人们生活节奏的日益加快，中国的年轻人越来越不注意他们的日常饮食，在面对一日三餐，很多人选择随便对付过去，这样的人如今被称为"两餐半人"。《中国青年报》上周对21494名公众进行了调查，半数以上都承认自己是这种"两餐半人"。受访者中，"80后"青年占59.7%，"70后"占24.1%。32.4%的人表示，由于早晨上班早，很多时候早餐便省略了；28.1%的人因为工作的缘故，晚餐通常吃得很晚；23.7%的人表示，在感到饥饿时就拿泡面、饼干等充饥。
