We eat many different foods nowadays,but certainly we eat harmer than old people because people did not eat fast food,ice cream,pizza and many kind meals.So they were more healthy yet we found fast food and everybody like it because it is both very delicious and cheap also convenient besides many people do not like to cook due to fast food is appropriate for their.I think it is so delicious to health thus I do not like fast food and I almost never go to fast food restaurant.Besides table manners is very important yet it is change in every culture.For example;In rome,people did not eat at table or in spain and france used knive or japans used stick to eating and they still have used.Therefore mealtimes are so important ;consequently,meals are eaten by friends and family it become more enjoyable and talk together and people can learn new meals and new language or culture.As a conclusion I can say that,table manners is important to know the other cultures.

Today,all people prefer New World food because New world food can use easily.However,some New World food(dishes made easy)generally are very unhealthy.For example,corn.I think corn is unhealty because corn has very oil.If dealer are burning of corn,people are generally cancer. There are healthy New World foods.Such as;tomatoes,potatoes,peanuts.All of them did not a thousand years ago.
