Organizers unhappy US team to bring their own food
Beijing Olympic organizers are unhappy over the decision of the U.S. team to bring their own food.
“I feel it’s a pity that they (Americans) decided to take their own food,” Kang Yi, the head of the Food Division for the Beijing organizing committee, said Thursday.
Athletes from other countries have shown concerns over food quality.
USOC spokesman Darryl Seibel said they did the same thing in Athens and Torino games.
“We have absolutely no concerns about the quality and safety of the food in the Athletes Village,” Seibel said. “Also, we will be sourcing products from local suppliers for our training table, in addition to bringing some products with us. We had the same approach during the Athens and Torino Games, as well.”
Americans must have food with American characteristics. Chinese just don’t understand the American culture, especially the culture about food. It is food that is prepared for Americans by Americans with American ingredients that is designed for the American digestive system. Furthermore, Americans are not yet ready to accept food prepared in China. What food Americans eat is an internal matter for Americans to decide, and no other country can have any say in what food Americans eat. People commenting on this issue have ulterior motives to undermine the American way of life. Americans must reject this kind of hidden agendas totally, completely, and always.
[...] The U.S. team upset the Olympic organizers last year by saying that they would bring their own food to the Olympics. I suppose now, their cheese supplies will be well looked after. [...]
