    Analysis Of American Copia

    Huerta brings up his weight and wonders if he had stayed in Mexico would be have stayed thin. He mentions that when he was seven years old he had not an ounce of body fat on him at the time. Not long after being here in the States he went from skinny to fat fairly quickly. This made me think about how changing your environment can affect your eating habits. Coming to the US from Mexico is a big transition in all aspects but assimilation into American culture can have major effects on your eating habits and behavior towards food. After doing some research I found a popular scholarly journal that talks about how assimilating into American culture can lead to health issues and its focus on the Latino community. The study stated that acculturation among Latinos had a negative influence on food and dieting habits of children, adolescents, and adults. That is exactly what happened to Huerta, and you can kind of map his eating habits throughout the book as he ventures to the grocery…

    Nur 502 Theoretical Foundations For Nursing Roles And Practice

    So many migrants come to America with the intention to work and return to their country and family, but when they start working and acculturating many of them choose to stay. Waldstein explains that Mexican women are well-educated as part of their up-bringing, about the natural medicines. The native plants are used for all purposes of health. The two most popular medicinal plants are chamomile and peppermint. Not only the indigenous plants, but the whole foods that the Mexican woman prepare are fresh and have more protein, vitamin A, C, folic acid, and calcium than what the American born Mexican women and the women of European descent prepare. Waldstein explains that this is because Mexican women’s definition of a good diet includes fruits, vegetables, and plenty of water. The women pointed out that mindful eating is important, only eating what the body needs, and eating outside of the home, “especially in the street” leads to poor habits and…

    Guatemalan Culture

    As the globalization of foodways opened Guatemala to new markets it also closed the door to the main production of traditional crops. Traditionally many farmers would produce a lot of maize by “making milpa” (Isakson, 2014, p. 353). A milpa is a cornfield that can include “beans, squash, chilies, fruit trees, leafy greens, herbs, medicinal plants and edible weeds” (Isakson, 2014, p. 353). These traditional gardens provided for the nutritional diets and preparations including the ingredients for nixtamalization discussed earlier. As globalization decreased the production of maize within Guatemala, such traditional gardens diminished as other nontraditional crops were added (Isakson, 2014, p. 360). Guatemala, previous…

    Cultural Diversity and Diets

    Different cultures around the world have their own types of customs that they are used to having. There are many types of diets that different cultures are used to having that unlike those of what we are used to here in the United States. In many cultures people eat toasted ants, frog legs, puppies, kittens, or raw monkey brains. I could never find myself eating none of the above, but this is natural for many people around the world. Each part of the world contains people who function differently, have symbols that have different meaning as well as have their conflicts. When applying the concept that people live different lives and eat different things, the concepts of ethnocentrism and cultural relativism come into play for each type of custom. We judge those that have different ways of living as weird, nasty and strange while they think of our ways of living as the same. This essay also discusses the three major sociological theories: functionalism, conflict theory, and interactionism for the analysis of ethnocentrism and cultural relativism.…

    Food in America: a Controversy

    It is often said that, “You are what you eat,” food is an essential provision that cannot be taken for granted. The access for food is crucial and the food people put in their body is significant. Food determines various aspect of the human body such as, body shape, production of energy and ultimately overall health. The American lifestyle is based on time, speed and efficiency; therefore the American people tend to be oblivious on what they put inside their body. Society in America, particularly poor people, are forced to live in an environment where food leads to obesity or health problems, and the rich gain more access on fresh, healthy diet with low fat and salt. American’s perspective on time has dramatically transformed the way they eat and how they eat food. Instead of viewing food as a substance to be delight in, the appreciation for food has deteriorated, in other words, food has become a “means” to an end. Food is the ultimate hot-button issue because everyone eats it and no one wants to feel guilty about what they’re eating. Food can be as sensitive a subject as religion or politics. Ultimately, as the passion and eagerness for food in America increases, it becomes difficult to bridge the gap of feeding America with healthy nutritious diet.…

    Nutritional Analysis

    Within our global economy, we are bombarded by companies advertising schemes informing consumers the product is healthy and nutritious. This clouds our perception of what is a “healthy” food and how much we should consume of that food. After spending eight days analyzing the food I consume, including the homemade items, I find much of the food on the market today is a potentially toxic form of poison hidden under a bunch of government politics. Prior to this class I was under the influence of many of these schemes. After the daunting task of analyzing the food I consume, I have learned my diet needs improvements in many areas. Having a healthy and nutritious diet is possible. It takes time, analysis and a willingness to ensure you are providing your body with the essential nutrients it needs.…
