Food #3 Home and Corporate

From what i have seen in the media about eating is that it in the United States you can get food fast and easy. Once the food is there and ready to eat i've seen in the media both the idea of togetherness of eating at the table with you family AND where the family is spread throughout the house eating in front of the television. The media also promotes unhealthy food like fast foods but makes it look fresh and healthy and good tasting.

In my family house hold the food is not always cooked quickly. Admittedly we use products that you can make in under 10 mintues like mac and cheese or ramen noodles. But for the most part my parents, who do most of the cooking, take the time to cook what they make.I would say that what is made in my house is mostly of convenience because we don't exactly have all the ingredients growing near by for us to have access to. So we go to the grocery store conveniently close to the house.

We do have a sense of togetherness in the house where we do eat together. We don't eat together all the time and when we don't we do eat in front of the tv with is part of the corporate American way of food. The foods we eat are pretty healthy, my dad likes to eat healthy so he tries not to buy too much junk food so we have I think a pretty good balance between my parent's ways of eating and the American way of eating because the ingredients used are mostly traditional from my family's generations.Overall I think my household has a mix of family traditions of foods from my mom and dad's cultures and the American culture of eating.
