origins of the foods you commonly eat. How your diet and other things might be different if China rather than Europe colonized the Americas?

    People generally eat what's available. The colonists brought very little in the way of seeds with them, at least at first. I don't think the diet would be substantially different. In fact, it might be the other way around. Fruits and vegetables native to the Americas may have had a much greater influence on the Chinese diet.
