Why Food?

     Why talk about food? Food is not only one of the essential aspects of lots of people’s daily lives; it is what brings us together as a society. Throughout our day, food is constantly surrounding us. As I pondered about what topic to chose as the base of my blog, I realized that researching and writing about food would allow me to learn more about the society we live in.
Food is such an interesting topic because it makes us who we are as individuals. Where you buy food, what you eat, and what you do not eat, really says a lot about a particular individual. Besides being fuel for our bodies, it is a way where we portray as well as manifest our beliefs into tangible, edible, items.
     The social status of each person usually reflects up what type of food they buy as well as what they intake on a daily basis. It is sort of like a barrier between who eats socially healthy and who does not. Eating politically “correct” allows for those individuals to feel a part of that society. It is a not only a form of identification, but a level of unity within our society. It allows us to come together under the same underlying notion.
     So far, I have learned a bit about food as well as the impact it has in our society. Being as essential as it is, I hope that I can expand my knowledge on this topic through this blog.
