Refrigerator Assignment

List of the food in my refrigerator:

Lettuce
Tomato
Onion
Mentsuyu
Rice
Spinach
Eggs
Mustard
Ketchup
Lime
Oyakodon
Milk
Strawberry jelly
Mayonnaise
Fish
Pineapple
BBQ sauce
Ham
Cheese

The previous list shows the edible substances in my refrigerator. My family and I eat these very often. We consider them as healthy food because they are cooked with a very low amount of oil and spices. We do not behold any relationship with the food we buy. We are just grateful we are able to have food in our refrigerator and when we eat these we appreciate them. I personally love eating and cooking. Cooking exclusive dinners in one of my hobbies.

In my culture, a family is supposed to eat together without any distractions, such as TV. We talk to one another and enjoy the food by saying thank you before eating it. Also the housekeeper or the housewife are the ones who are supposed to cook for the rest of the family.
Meals such rice with meat or fish are very traditional. Sometimes it is "normal" to consume different types of food such as American food or Italian food. The food we eat is not ate at home 21 times a week.

In American culture people usually consume fast food. Most families are too busy to dedicate time to cook a complete dinner for the rest of the family every night. If so Families usually eat beef, pasta, rice, vegetables, etc. However, they still use too much oil and spices to en taste their food. Which causes the food to be less healthy for them.
