HW 4-Your Families' Foodways.

    Well first on a personal level of my own food ways I tend to base the favorite things that I eat with my mothers cooking/ fathers and my own and that food tends to be very heavy sicilian and I guess in a sense I approach this food because I grew up with it as a kid. I believe that peoples food ways are created by the food atmosphere that they grow up with while they are in their younger years. Although people create and become accustomed to these foodways at a young age their habits are constantly changing as they are growing older and more influence form others. Their peers and media and other adults are the people that these kids take into consideration to make the constant change their foodways. In another example for me personally my father loves peanut butter and when I was younger I ate a lot of peanut butter all the time. So as I saw my father eating peanut butter I became accustomed to it and started to do it my self because he was my influence during that age that effected my foodways.

    Now for the approach of food my parents generally don't care what we eat as long as its easy to get and some what healthy every now and then they are almost always happy with what they are eating. For me it's all about desire to eat healthy mostly and to eat what I'm craving form time to time. On a regular night my parents will order soups burgers or salads  from the greek diner from down the block from my house and for them they consider that a healthy choice. But occasionally on other nights they will order italian or spanish food which they consider unhealthy and sadly this effects me in a bad way. It does this because I have to order something from these places cause they want to so I end up eating badly or healthy every other night. You can see how my family still affects my foodways even at my current age of 17, everybody's foodways are constantly changing through out  their entire life.

    My families food choices affect me in a negative way because since they are always ordering out this constantly pushes back the time we are suppose to be getting groceries and groceries is something I have a horrible time living without. This is the result of my family's food ways effecting my house hold groceries:

The refrigerator in my house is the exact replica of this refrigerator in the picture above and I hate it. Every now and then I'am able to place fresh direct orders for groceries but because of my family's food ways postponing this there is barely a good amount of food inside of my home when I need there to be. So you can see as well how your families foodway's can effect your quality of living in their foodway's effect you in a negative way, just like in my case with my lack of food in my refrigerator situation.
