F O O D

“More Food” has always been the topic ever since the start of civilization.

It is never a boring topic and we all love to talk about it. It seems like we

haven’t finished one meal when we are already thinking about what we will

prepare for the next one.

The basic food groups are meat and protein, fruits and vegetables, dairy.

Grain, and fats/oils and sweets People will argue over what they think are

good foods and bad foods, but any food eaten in excess can have consequences;

more so with foods high in sugars, cholesterol and high fat content. But even

a little of these won’t hurt you. Some people have even gone to the extreme of 

totally eliminating meats and sugars from their diets. All you have to do is

look around you and you can see people who probably consume diets high insugars and fats. But most foods used in moderation should be fine. So what

do you think may comprise some healthy and not so healthy food groups?

Let’s take a look at a few:

-  Healthy: Fruits, vegetables, certain nuts, whole grains, lean meats, fish

Examples: Apples, oranges, mangos, green and red lettuces, spinach,

broccoli, tomatoes, almonds, whole wheat and bran and oats)

-  Unhealthy: Sugars, foods cooked in saturated fats, fatty red meats, pork,

(Examples: Cakes, cookies, ice cream, hamburgers and hotdogs, French

fries (especially fast food),

Foods are prepared in many different ways around the world. Every

country and culture will boast of their styles. If you have never been

introduced to some of the styles, you may be quite alarmed at what another

culture may find tasty. As an example, a lot of people in China eat dogs. But

people in some other countries treat dogs as pets and find it repulsive to ever

think about eating “man’s best friend”. However is it wrong to eat a dog? Is

a dog an animal? So what’s the problem? Some people have pet rabbits andducks. Do those people also eat duck and rabbit? Probably so…

Three methods of etiquette known to humans today of feeding themselves

would probably be either with a fork and spoon, chopsticks or by hand.

Asians normally use chopsticks and spoons. Using chopsticks is something

that must be learnt and practiced. Although the rest of the world may enjoy

the convenience of being able to just “shovel” large amounts of food into their

mouths with a fork and spoon, they are not able to just eat without being

clumsy or ungraceful for their first time with chopsticks. Chopsticks are

really fun to eat with once you get the hang of them. There is a proper way to

hold a fork when eating. It would be improper to hold the fork in a gripped

fist type way and this mannerism would be looked upon by others in the

western society as being bad etiquette. Another difference in cultural styles is

the way Asians will slurp their soup and noodles and beverages. Is there

something the matter with this? Of course not if you happen to live in their

societies. But in many of the western societies are taught that slurping your

food is poor manners. Of course you would normally eat a sandwich, like a

hamburger or hot dog, with your hands. Many people would find it repulsive

to watch people dig in with their hands and grab a handful of chili and put it

in their mouths.

Some of the famous dishes from around the world and the countries they

are associated with may include:

-  Hamburgers and French fries: The United States

-  Pastas and sauces: Italy

-  Sour Kraut: Germany

-  Rice and noodle dishes: China and many other Asian countries

-  Tacos, burritos and re-fried beans: Mexico

-  Sushi: Japan

Foods can be cooked in a variety of ways. One thing for sure they all

involve high temperatures. Foods can be prepared outside on a barbeque grill,

fried or boiled on a stove top with gas or electric or oil heat, baked or broiled

in an oven or cooked in a microwave. There are other ways to which might be

a bit out of the norm.
