Food and Culture
Food is deeply connected to our traditions, beliefs, and celebrations. Every culture around the world has unique dietary practices rooted in history. For example, the traditional Indian thali includes lentils, rice, vegetables, and yogurt - offering a nutritious and well-balanced meal.
Cultural food traditions often emphasize seasonal, fresh, and home-cooked meals, which are healthier than fast food or ready-made items.
Unfortunately, globalization has contributed to the spread of ultra-processed foods and fast food chains, leading to rising rates of obesity and lifestyle diseases.
Respecting and returning to cultural food roots can promote healthier, more sustainable eating habits.
