Food Stereotypes And Health Condition

 

      I have been interested in food stereotypes. This is because I believe that food stereotype is directly related to people's health condition. In addition, I saw a lot of my family members who had suffered from diseases caused by wrong diet. This is the reason why I am going to write about food stereotype for my final English writing.

     I think there are many factors which cause food stereotypes such as gender, race, etc. The main purpose of this writing is I want to analyze diet from different races and how it affects their family's health condition. For example, European and Asian do have different diet for their meal. However, men have less life span than women regardless of their race. This will be because even if they have different types of meal  they might be sharing similar food ingredients. I guess one of the reason would be gender. Regardless of their race, men might prefer meat type food and women might prefer vegetables type and this would be one of the factors causing health condition. In addition, depending on the main cook for the family it would also affect other family member's health condition. Because the diet for a family would change by the main cook. Thus for this writing, I am going to research on different gender food from many countries(I am planning to divide it to European, Asian, and American) and what types of ingredients the food include and how the ingredients affect our health. 

    I am going to post a website which would give more idea about this topic. This is a quote from that website, "If I suggest making a dinner of spaghetti squash tossed with veggies, I get looked at like I’m a crazy person. Dinner includes meat. Always. My husband is a true “guy’s guy” when it comes to food and it’s made me realize that the stereotypes I see in the media are pretty darn accurate in real life. This shows us the food and gender stereotype. And this finally would affect health condition. Try this website for more information.
