Food Folkways

We learn about foods from our parents, our friends, our teachers in school, and from our surroundings. Television plays a part in delivering food messages and making foods popular with us. Foods grown in an area might affect the food choices for the people living in that area.

Many times, certain foods become the basis of what we eat. Occasionally we fill in those "basic" foods with new and different foods. During travel to new places, you might find new foods you haven't tried before.

What do you know about some of your favorite foods? Can you prepare them? How do they fit into your own healthy diet? Select one of these foods and get ready to have some fun!


Now, it's your turn to tell us about some of your other favorite foods. Send me your recipe. Who knows-maybe we can share it with everyone else!!
