Eating Habits

This blog is about my personal eating habits and relating it to sociological theories in relation to a auto ethnography post.

There are many reasons for peoples eating habits I think it mainly depends on an individuals finical situation, there are many animals which I consider edible such as a cow a pig, a chicken and lamb however I would never eat such parts as the tonge or liver as it just sounds wrong. Even though I enjoy eating animals as they taste good I would never ever consider killing an animal myself to eat. Lamb can be expensive and can also be suggested that it is a food for the middle or upper class along with certain types of fish. the lower class may struggle to buy meat and have to bujet for a longer lasting meal such as a beef stew and can last over a period of a few days. I personally only have lamb every once in while even though I would like to eat it more often I have to bujet to make my food stretch for me and my two children. myself and my children do like to eat fruit it makes a great snack and is cheap if you go to the fruit shop not the supermarket also the fruit shop is fun for the children picking and counting their own fruit. In my household any food that has been cooked and still edible that is not being eating is frozen for another day so it is not going to waste as it will be saving me money for the following week. I think my eating habit stem from my dad as we were never a well off family and always managed to eat well off little money learning this behaviour has helped me greatly.
It could also be suggested that people eat certain foods to fit into certain groups for example: at high school the popular girls were skinny and other girls may notice this and perhaps eat less or more healthier.
