Prompt: Write about a time when you realized that your perception of a particular food was based on a stereotype. Explain what the food was, what you originally believed about it, and where that belief came from. Then describe how your perspective changed after experiencing or learning more about the food. Be sure to include specific details about the moment your thinking shifted and what you learned from that experience.

 Prompt Response: When I was little I thought steaks and red meat were higher class meals that lower class people didn't get to eat like me. As I grew older I realized my parents didn't know how to buy red meat at lower prices. It wasn't due to our lower income at the time we just needed to get more creative. When I got older we found ways to have red meat, in particular we'd buy in bulk. This way we could get more food worth our buck. 

Summary: In class we worked on our presentations for our food that connect to our culture slide show. 

Reflection: One food isn't just meant for one people. Yes, it may have been created for a certain group, but food is universal. It's meant for all to enjoy regardless of who you.
