3. Do you think people should have access to a variety of foods? Why or why not? I think people should have access to a variety to foods because it allows people to get a taste of different cultures and how different foods come different places are made, imported, exported, and much more. Also, it is fun and interesting to eat different foods because you can get a feel about different cultures and change your perceptive about things.

I think food plays a big part in one's culture because my grandmother for instance loves to cook lots of Puertorican dishes and feeding us constantly. My grandmother lives with us and she is really big on us being fed and making her homeland dishes because it gives people a feel of what our cultures is like. We bring our food when we all come together, parties, holidays, gatherings, and etc.
