:D HI,Alan
How are you?Thanks for your help on my quetions and so quickly answering!
The sentence is "The problem about writing on food is that however hard you try, you will say what you like and end up being subjective." I can't understand its meaning, especially the first part of this sentence.

Hi Strawberry,

I'm fine thanks and hope you are too. Your sentence:

The problem about writing on food is that however hard you try, you will say what you like and end up being subjective

This means: There is a difficulty when you write something about food because you can try as hard as you like but in the end you will only talk about what you really like and as a result you will just give your personal opinion.

Alan
