How do you do food at home?
In my house food on a daily basis is something that just provides us with nutrients. We eat in our own rooms doing whatever, and as far as the food part there are day were we order out, eat cereal or have a home cooked meal. On other days when there is a special occasion food becomes a big deal there’s always people cooking about 4 different dishes and the kitchen is always full. Food also becomes a big deal when someone in the family cooks something good or makes a big meal, since we all live close to each other family members will come over to try this and that just because. There is no one specific routine for me when it comes to food in my house.
How do people in the U.S. mainstream do food - as shown in TV and movies?
The history of food has changed a lot over time. I’m not sure when but dinner time for families were very different from how they are now. Dinner time was earlier in the day around the table with the household. Usually the tone was very relaxed, people would sit there and talk about their days and bond as a family, I would say dinner time was of the upmost importance back then. Now dinner is just a necessity, it seems to be rushed all the time and it has no sincerity. I don’t know any other meal where people get together except dinner and now it’s not even like that anymore. It’s become normal to eat individually; it seems like group meals are planed instead of expected.
Please write a one page comparison of your family's food ways, your food ways, and mainstream corporate US food ways.
When I was younger my family’s food ways were sitting around the table every night eating a home cooked meal. This was a regular routine for us and I think it is a regular routine for every family that has young children. Now my food ways are a lot different, I don’t often eat a home cooked meal anymore and I usually eat alone. My dinners are usually a bowl of cereal, takeout, something I can preheat and the occasional home cooked meal. Mainstream corporate US food ways use to market food as something a family did together. Now that time has passes TV shows and movies portray what meal time is really like. I see more people eating food in their own rooms or together in front of the television, mainstream corporate have accepted that and have made it more common in the media. |
