1st draft. not done
The idea of studying food in history class is not a normal idea. When my friends ask what I am learning in history and I answer food unit they always ask my to elaborate or the think I am lying to them. But when you take time to think about the unit of food it makes scene. Why not learn about something you do everyday and sustain your body. I still don’t know why food is weird but I know that by the end of this unit I will be able to tell my friends about what I have learned.
When the topic of food comes up I think about all the cultures of food available in New York City. We have a little Italy, Chinatown, Korea town, and all sorts of other foods. There is fast and gourmet food and every verity in between. Every culture has there own view of what is acceptable food. For example Chinese people eat any seafood and other livestock that is not consider normal in America. We eat beef in America but Hindu people in India believe that they shouldn’t and that it is not normal too.
