Hunger

The great thing about culture is that it is comprised of everyday items that most take for granted. We aren't even aware of the actions that shape our culture. It easier for use to look back on past societies and discover the reasoning behind their choices than it is perhaps for us to know why we do the things we do.

One of these can be something as the food we eat. We may not think much about food and the importance of the meals we eat.  But I believe this is one of the important contributing factors for defining culture. There a lot of factors that are involved; from the different foods eaten to the ingredients, methods of preparation, and preservation techniques affect a society’s culture.

The distinctions in the types of food we eat are decisions we make every day as college students. I feel most students take convenience and price as the number one priority in choosing their meals. As compared to a home cooked meal that most of us took for granted growing up. These meals take more time to prepare but are higher in nutrition and healthier for you.

Even in our own lives we can see different changes that shape culture. Can you think of any eating habit changes that you feel shape our culture?
