Food is one of the many things in our society that is essential to us as human being but we still don't take much time to think about it. This is including myself. When i eat I am most concerned with taste and whether or not what I am eating will fill me up. This is porbably because I have yet to have a problem with my weight and therefore pay less attention to eating healthy and such. But when I think of an ideal meal which for me is being able to sit down and enjoy my food with friends I realize that my typical meal is very different from this. I hardly eat breakfast and when I do I'm busy doing other things and am in a rush to get to school. At lunch we don't have that long to eat so I find myself being a bit rushed as well. As for dinner it is a much more relaxed meal but I usually do not eat dinner with my friends. My typical meal is hardly ever my ideal meal.
Food and diet is becoming more of a topic of interest in Americans. There are much more health and food shows on now and people are becoming much more worried about what the eat. However it seems almost like a fad, it has become cool for some people become vegetarians and such. However this is a fad mostly amongst middle class people and much less amongst working class people. There are also a very high amount of people with food disorders and many celebrities suffer from food disorders. This is a very harmful thing that is not surprising to be found in our society.
We have a lot of different things connected with food in our society many of them being negative things and many being positive. We are so accustomed to some of the aspects of food in our society that we dont think much about the food were eating and the process it has gone through before we eat it.
