Expo on fast and healthy food

JAKARTA (JP): The weekly women's magazine Femina is holding
an exhibition of fast and healthy food.

Chief editor of the magazine Widarti Goenawan says that there
is a change in food preferences among Indonesians which is a
result of the change of their life style.

"Development has changed women's role so that they are working
and spending most of their time outside their houses. Most women
now prefer to cook simple and fast meals for their families,"
Widarti said.

The three-day exhibition was opened yesterday at the YTKI
building on Jl. Gatot Soebroto, Central Jakarta and will last
until Sunday.

Suroso Natakusuma, assistant to the minister of food/chairman
of the logistics board, says that exhibition is very important in
helping to increase people's appreciation of healthy Indonesian
food.

"Currently, people are being drawn to foreign fast food
because of good service. It is important that Indonesians also
appreciate their own food," Suroso says. (yns)
