It's food capable of sustaining life - neither good nor bad. The old people see food as it is. The young folks see food from a sociological and ethnological point of view i.e., they see themselves as hip, young, Chinese with upper middle class tastes and expectations. There's no way they're going to enjoy lower-class faux Chinese food made for white people. That's the breaks.
