When one says their favorite food is pizza, one might feel extremely cliché and basic. However, to me pizza is more than just food, it’s a small player in the attempt for world peace but nobody sees it that way. Personally I was introduced to pizza by my family at a young age because of my Italian background, but growing up, and after eating tons of slices of pizza I had a realization, that realization is that pizza is something almost everyone can agree on. Pizza gives me inspiration in life because of its unique variations and its worldwide acceptance in many countries and cultures. Whether it be homemade, ordered out, or dined in pizza is truly one of, if not the most inspiring to life in general. Pizza and its variations can mean a lot of things; including its shape, variable toppings and ways to make it. Ever notice that a pizza is round, in a square box, and cut into triangle slices.

This will happen not only because of pizza but you are filling your stomach which puts you and other consumers in a good mood regardless of the situation. Food has a crazy impact on socialization.

Many people declare that pizza is the best food that they have ever tasted, or it is at least their favorite, but pizza has not gone far beyond fulfilling a sense of hunger. “The Best Pizza in the World”, by Elizabeth Gilbert, is a short story that explores how a simple pizza quenches the narrator's thirst for adventure and changes her overall attitude toward herself.

Pollan states that food is not just a necessity to survive, it has a greater meaning to life. Pollan explains how food can cause us happiness and health by connecting us to our family and culture.

Belasco states that food forms our identity and brings our society together.
Since the beginning of time, schools were always a place we could trust. A place where we could send our kid(s) off to without worry of what they may be learning, doing, or eating, but perhaps we should be. As the craving of fast food is growing, so is the demand for it. Some schools have taken advantage of this and brought fast food into their schools, providing it for lunch. A high school in California serves McDonald’s, Subway, and even Quiznos to their students for lunch (Lehmann). The school claims the kids are more likely to buy school food when they see brand foods (n.p.). Schools get money from the National School Lunch Program for every meal they serve, but that money from the government only covers so much (n.p.). To pay the rest of the lunch staff, facilities costs, and food, schools turn to the money they make by selling lunches and breakfast to their students (n.p.). Another school in California has even tried to mimic Round Table, a brand name pizza in their area, with healthier ingredients, but was only able to sell 250-300; when they sold Round T...

The way in which we choose our foods can stem from events that occur during early childhood. When I lived in Jamaica as a child, I was only fed 'Jamaican style' cuisine. This involved lots of rice with peas, chicken, jerked pork, etc. However, I remember that my parents would take my brothers and I out to restaurants a few times a year as a treat. Our favourite place was a specific Chinese restaurant in a tourist area nearby our house. The food was prepared by Chinese workers and we got to experience what we believed was authentic Chinese cuisine. Another place in which we would enjoy was KFC. KFC represented an exotic 'Other' which allowed us to experience a different kind of social space. According to Finkelstein, this is known as an 'America place'. It is world-famous American food. Food consumption can be a social event where it is done solely for the experience. Interactions in restaurants are conditioned by existing manners and customs. Dining out allows us to act in imitation of others, in accord with images, in responses to fashions, out of habit, without need for thought or self-scrutiny. The result is that the styles of...
My favorite meal is the chicken fettuccini pasta. I chose this dish because I can never stop eating it. The meal is made up of warm tenderized chunks of chicken, delicate smooth creamy white sauce, and many varieties of sliced up vegetables. However, when I was a child vegetables has always been difficult to eat. It prevented me from enjoying my favorite meal because I would always have to take out the mixed vegetables in the meal. As a child I 've tried avoiding vegetables, but was found throughout the school cafeteria 's food, my mother 's cooking, or many fancy restaurants. There was nowhere to run. Over the years, my mother knew I was struggling to eat vegetables. She worked very hard by coming up with her own recipes in order for me to eat healthy. From mixing in the vegetables into the meals I usually eat or to trick me into eating meat but was actually vegetables. Soon later I came to realize how much effort she has put into the meals. All those hour and hard work my mother put it allowed me to enjoy my favorite meal again.
