To Bao Lin:

I agree with you on how supermarkets might ""push" certain food/products to the consumers." I think that it is a method of commercialism and very effective too. Offering sales actually benefits the company to a certain point, until the costumer becomes a common costumer of that brand then they will withdraw the sale. Of course the price has to remain lower than the competition.

To Yu Xi:

I agree with you about people not being contsant with their habitual way of eating. It might be because they are not comminted to eating healthy or because they are too influenced by the fast food that tastes very good and it is also economic to a certain point. I think that this book might discuss the cultural way of our diet, however it also provides an example on the drastic differences from culture to culture.

To Maggie:

I can relate to you based on your understanding of this quote. I also do not follow specific ideas on what to eat and what not to eat. Ulimately the one who decides what is healthy for myself is myself.

To Quinn:

Like you I was not aware of this holidy until it was mentioned in class. I knew about it but it was under a different name and my family never celebrated it before. I do not think it is a good or bad holiday it is just there to symbolize some idea that some group of people made up.

To John L.:

Indeed the American and the Chinese food culture might be very different in some ways but it does not matter if we live in America. This is because we do what majority does and lose our cultural ways of eating in some way.
