    South Asian Gender Roles

    Although their lives may not primarily consist of their South Asian culture, eating the cuisine will remind them of their heritage therefore the way it is produced is important; it must be able to create the nostalgic feeling (Berger, 1961). It is a part of the South Asian woman’s identity. It must be noted because of the immigration of South Asians to western countries, the use of pre-food has becoming increasingly used within South Asian households. Although the food is not a true reflection of true South Asian cuisine it allows a sense of re-connecting with their heritage hence displaying food within their identity. The use of microwavable rice, echoes South Asian’s of their heritage, however it must be noted pre-packaged food hold stigma since it can be understood to lack true authenticity- some of the heritage is lost through such foods, as there is no real love and affection connected to it the way a South Asian woman would create it (Sriniva, 2006). For a South Asian woman to use pre- made supermarket food, albeit South Asian type cuisine, this will create negative stigma towards her and she may be seen to be a failure by the community and her family.

    Fast Food

    Obesity is an epidemic that is sweeping over the United States today. It’s affecting both adults and children. With the increase in fast food availability and a decrease in the time most Americans have to prepare nutritious meals at home, it’s obvious why more people are eating at fast food restaurants. Obesity is a growing problem in the United States and more and more children are being affected. But do uneducated families have the right to put the blame on fast food restaurants for the health issues they could easily prevent? I believe that we are taking it too far by blaming fast food restaurants for obesity and that it is an individual’s responsibility to take the blame. While R.A. Ames "The Food Isn’t to Blame" and Richard Daynard “You Want Fries with That?” use different themes of blaming fast companies and individual decisions to underscore the effects of fast of food on America, the Rahul K. Parikh in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Fats Kid” picks up the same theme, he blames advertisements for America’s Obesity.…
