What to write now?


For my first essay I focused on how the town I was from affected how I ate and what I grew up eating. This was mostly German food of simple meat and potatoes, and being in an agricultural area we had plenty of sweet corn and fresh vegetables too.

In my second short essay I analyzed the differences between genders, how they eat differently, what society thinks of how they eat, and how this affects the ads and marketing and vice versa.  This was the most interesting essay for me, and one I will probably incorporate the most for the unit essay.

In the final essay I wrote about the differences between ethnic food and the Americanized version of it. Also how the location of a restaurant can affect what types and how customers act within them.

I can combine the all of these concepts with a general reflection on our society and what affects our choices to eat a certain way or eat certain foods.  Our background and history, our gender and societal values, and our tendency as Americans and individuals to change the original recipes to fit our personalized tastes all affect the choices we make on what to eat every day for every meal.
