When people no longer worry about filling their stomachs, they start paying attention to a healthy diet.

Diner Wang Xilian said, "We didn't have enough food before, let alone health and nutrition. We needed to buy food with all types of ration coupons, such as grain coupons. I still remember I ate a little meat only once a month. Now it's not a problem any more. Now we are picky about food. We can freely choose the food that's good for our health."

But people are also showing increasing concerns about food safety. They want to have legal guarantees when they eat. And lawmakers are responding. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress is expected to approve the country's first food safety law next year. Chinese eating habits will go hand in hand with China's reforms.
