Respond for " Food for thought"

I read an article, name" Food for thought". This is all about the relation between food and culture, food and history. It also show that the countries which are close to each other have some similarities in food. In my country, our food is similar with Chinese food because we are really close to other and also have some similarities in culture. However, the food also reflect our life style such as we are an agriculture country so rice is the most important thing in our meal. Beside that, we eat a lot of products from rive also. In my country, different part have their own traditional food which is come from their own traditional material. Further more, the food of different part of my country reflect their life style. People from capital city really care about their meal. It must be contain a lot of meat and rice because they are have formal life style. In the other hand, the people from my hometown don't pay much attention to what they eat because they are more free in thinking about food.

I agree with you Tai about the realation between food and culture, But In opinion the article concentrates on the relation between food and political more than culture.

It's interesting the example about your country. And almost the same happens in my country. People in the city prefer having a variety diet, meanwhile people in rural areas have another kind of diet. They eat more rice and beans almost all the meals.

I think your comment about how people in the city eat differently than people in the country. Why do city people eat more meat?
