Food #3 - Food Cultures - Home & Corporate

In my house my mother usually cooks and prepares all of the food. My father will make food when my mother is working late or I will make my own food if I don't like what is made. I think that this is very similar to mainstream U.S. families because the female of the house is usually the one preparing the food. This also happens when I am at my grandmothers, aunts and friends houses. Different meals take different amounts of time to prepare. Freezer food will usually be the easiest to prepare and usually taste good. The chicken cutlets or frozen pizzas will usually take about 15-30 minutes to prepare but is still very easy because they just need to sit in the oven for than time. The food that I eat is not always the most healthy food. Usually when my mother prepares the food those are the healthiest meals but not always best tasting. I prefer the best tasting meals and my mother prefers the healthiest and least fattening. I think a lot of people preferrer the meals that taste better but they end up obese because the foods are all fast food. Some of the foods I think taste good are healthy so I am able to moderate myself from always eating unhealthy. I order fast food for dinner at least once a week. This is usually because my mother and father don't feel like making any food and I don't feel like making myself food so we order something. When I make dinner for myself I never make for anyone else because my parents think that the food I eat is not good and always complain about how much salt I use. Mainstream families probably order food the same or even more than I do. I think I probably eat a little bit healthier than most americans.
