Health and Food – Chinese Food Culture Eating Habits Essay

Use the following article as inspiration for and examples to discuss how culture influences what, how, and/or when we eat.

In your essay, demonstrate your food-culture knowledge by reflecting on your own diet and food-norms. Work to identify at least one of your food/eating habits that is governed by your cultural background. Think holistically and do some research to explain why this practice (or perhaps even food taboo!) exists. In some cases, you may instead prefer to discuss social determinants of health as they relate to nutrition.

Although your essay will be based in personal experience and reflection, I expect you to do some peer-reviewed research to back up your facts, ideas, and interpretations.
