Everyone loves to eat! People in every country enjoy this activity. There are so many different kinds of food in the world—Chinese food, Italian food, South American food, Indian food, and many others. It's fun to eat and compare different types of cuisine. Italian food is sometimes very spicy, but South American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all—sometimes it's so hot that it can make your mouth burn! But that's okay because then you can drink some good Italian or French wine to reduce the burning.
Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries. Chinese food is popular in many parts of the world. Lots of people love Chinese-style vegetables because they are so crispy. Because Chinese-style vegetables are usually cooked for a much shorter time, they are crisper than American-style vegetables. In fact, they are probably the crispest cooked vegetables you can find.
Some people don't like American-style food. They think it is often less tasty and sometimes less nutritious than food in other countries. Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home. They eat more “fast food”, such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, canned and frozen food, for fast food takes a short time to prepare. Often, Americans feel they are too busy to spend a lot of time cooking. It's easier to pick up a pack of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.
Of course, in some other countries, like France, cooking is still an “art form”; people believe that French cuisine is the best in the world. Certainly, each person has a different opinion about which country has the tastiest food. But people in many places agree that French food is the most delicious and the best prepared.

【精析】C 根据第一段最后两句“Indian food can be the spiciest of all…wine to reduce the burning.”可知，印度食物是最辣的，吃了之后会让人感觉嘴巴火辣辣的，这时可以喝点酒减轻辛辣感，所以可排除A项;根据最后一段第一句“…like France, cooking is still an ‘art form’…”可知，在法国烹饪是一门艺术，但并不是指法国的厨师都想成为艺术家，故B项错误;根据第一段倒数第二、三句“Italian food is sometimes very spicy, but South American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all…”可推知，印度食物可能是最辣的，所以南美食物没有印度食物辣，故C项正确;根据第二段第一句“Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries.”可知，一些美食来自于东方国家，但并没有说最好吃的食物来自于东方国家，故D项错误。故选C。
