Food
From big US fast food franchises to local Chinese restaurants, people love to try new exotic tastes, and so, it would appear that foreign foods seem to be popular everywhere. Food can be closely linked with cultural identity and many foods have become symbols to represent different cultures. Which countries would you associate with; the hotdog, pasta, paella, noodles, kebab, curry, a barbeque or croissants?
With so much food being produced and consumed there are of course many issues surrounding what we eat. Agriculture has become a huge business and food production has become industrialized.
GM (Genetically Modified) foods are central to concerns about food safety. And there are other worries about nutrition and animal welfare. But undoubtedly the biggest problem must be how we can distribute food more fairly so that nobody has too much and that millions who face going hungry everyday can have more.
Fact: Chicken Tika Masala from India has become the most popular dish in England – eaten more than the national dish of Fish ‘n’ Chips.
