There are various connections between food and identity. But the main one being culture, is the prime example of how food and identity are connected. All the food we eat reveals a lot about who people are and how we got there. This is an aspect of identity that has been around since the beginning of time. But the connection between food and identity is something that many people overlook because we have so many variations of food types available to us. Since societies all around the world are already becoming melting pots of cultures, we absorb many of these cultures different from ours. We are exposed to it, so we consume it, and eventually we end up endorsing it. Without this cultural influence of food, we would have very limited choice of food to consume in our country. Food also shapes every society, and the cultures we are a part of causes us to obsess over it almost every day, making it one of the biggest phenomenons in world history. we constantly think about what to eat and not to eat, what to feed our peers and friends, and how to serve each dish. We all have our own ways of perceiving food, and it is a blessing that we have the opportunity to explore not only ours, but others in order to improve.
