I have to come up with a project idea for a class called "Food For Thought." Basically, we investigate the social consequences/implications of any and everything about food. Such involves the cause/increase in eating disorders, vegetarianism, the emergence of fast food, gender roles around the production, preparation and consumption of food etc. For the project, we are to research on practically anything about food and write a lengthy report later on.
Does anyone have any intereting ideas that I can research? I was originally going to do a piece on the hybridization of ethnic foods into the American culture (e.g. burritos), and how it represents the introduction of immigrants becoming full American citizens. But the teacher was worried the project would become too political, and less food-oriented. Any, and all, suggestions would be great:)
