Book Report 1

 For my book report assignment, I chose “HUNGRY PLANET - WHAT THE WORLD EATS-” by Peter Menzel and Faith D’aluisio.

 

The reason why I chose this is because it is interesting to know how eating habits differ in each household in different countries. 

 

This book contains a lot of pictures, so it makes it easier to understand rather than just getting information from reading. Also, it tells how much money each family spends on food, which is categorized into many sections, such as Grains and other starchy foods, Dairy, Meat; Fish and eggs, Fruits; Vegetables and nuts, Prepared foods, beverages, Snacks Desserts, Condiments, Miscellaneous, and so on. 

 

From here, you will understand what is commonly eaten here, or what is difficult to get. 

You can also imagine what kind of place families live, from how much they can afford and how balanced their diets are. 

 

The interesting thing that I learned is that how much each family spends is very different, those who live depending on nature, don’t spend that much money. They have animals so they don’t have to spend money on Dairy, meat, and eggs. They eat whatever they have, and just buy whatever they don’t. 

It is interesting to know that even if you spend a lot of money, it doesn't mean your diet is well-balanced. I think "Food Choice" is very important to make you healthy. 

 

I have only read a little bit, so I will do the book report again when I read further!
