In the beginning, Burciaga provides a brief history when Taco Bell was established. First starting in Mexico City and then spreading throughout the United States, the chain sold “mild imitations of the real thing” (382). Many Mexican businesses and people protested against Taco Bell because unlike homemade tortillas made from hand, they used “prefabricated hard tortilla shells” (383) that tasted nothing like real Mexican tacos. Additionally, the restaurant also combines food and makes up names so that it appears different. From Enchiroto, a combination of a burrito and enchilada, to Cinnamon Crispas, known as bunuelos, Burciaga points out that “the Taco Menu can be a mystery if one is not familiar with the renamed food items” (383).

After an eventful night of dancing at nightclubs, I never expected to have the most flavorful tacos reach my mouth. At four in the morning we found ourselves at a small, local hole-in-the-wall where most tourists would not be caught dead at. Even though they were the greatest tacos I have ever had, what I ate most while I was there was tortilla soup. Topped with melted cheese and strips of fried tortillas I devoured a bowl from a place our friend Oscar worked at, Margarita Grille. I am not a soup person but this is something I still crave weekly, as well as the salsa they served. Fresh roasted tomatoes were crushed at our table and mixed with garlic, onions, jalapenos, cilantro and juices of a lime. A scoop of the colorful vegetables on a warm, salted tortilla chip will satisfy your taste buds and keep you going for more. Because Margarita Grille was only a couple blocks from our hotel in the “old town” of Puerto Vallarta, we ate there five or six times. Being an outdoor restaurant, there were always stray cats meandering around for scraps of dropped food. People were told not to feed them, but I think they were a pleasant reminder of being away from
In 1962, Glen Bell created Taco Bell, with 6,500 restaurants in the U.S. and with annual revenue in the billions. Glen Bell “became rich not through technological improvements but rather by franchising ethnic exoticism for consumers outside the Mexican community.” Therefore, he globalized the taco by catering it to Anglo-Americans that were curious about Mexican food, but did not want to enter Mexican communities. For this reason, he advertised “Mexican food” to non-Mexicans that were unaware of the cuisine and created a false image of Mexican food by presenting hard shell tacos as “Mexican food” to assimilate it into the Anglo-American diet. As a matter of fact, as these images of authentic Mexican food are invented so are the stereotypes that surround Mexicans. According to Pilcher, the image of the taco as “cheap, hot and dangerous reinforces racist images of Mexico” and “corporate advertisements are using demeaning images like Mexicans as outlaws or animals.” These stereotypes are denigrating the status of Mexican food and its people, and shows how a single food like tacos can incite these stereotypes and create a label for Mexicans. On the other hand, scholars show how Mexicans view the fast-food taco as a distortion of their cuisine presenting
After taking a closer look at the American diet, it 's clear to see Americans are in a lot of trouble. The average American diet is filled with lots of greasy fast food, large cuts of meat, salty junk food and sugar-laden sodas. This tradition is then passed on to the children and creates a legacy of ailments, disease and a lower quality of life. To many people, plant-based eating sounds like a death sentence. In reality, it 's all about getting creative with the foods you already like. It also involves intentional meal-planning and organization. However, your health is worth it. The ability to experience a better quality of life should be motivation enough to start changing your eating habits. Consider a few of these simple ways to incorporate plant-based eating into each meal without eliminating delicious taste.

Likewise, there are some results that can be made from having Mexican cuisines restaurants in America. Generally speaking, Mexican restaurants tend to be heavily stereotyped because, “when most Americans think of Mexican cooking, it’s more fajitas, burritos, and nachos that come into mind” (Wolcott). Neither of those choices are real authentic food to the Mexican culture but Americans choose to think of it as one because they can be misinformed by the cuisine. Thus, Jennifer Wolcott explores Rick Bayless’s cookbook in which he aims to knock down the stereotypes that come with Mexican cuisine. Specifically, “he is on a mission to help others get beyond these stereotypes and experience the fresh ingredients, vibrant flavors, and lively communal

Meriam-Webster Dictionary defines food as “material taken into an organism and used for growth, repair, and vital processes as a source of energy” (Mish). Food is simple, yet humans have made it very complex. In the United States of America, food has become more of a hobby than a nutritional need. Every family gathering, holiday, and birthday celebration contains food of some sort. Types of food are customary at different times, like birthday cake at a birthday party, or stuffing at Thanksgiving. There is an entire holiday dedicated to dressing up and giving children candy (Halloween). One of the popular holiday foods is meat. An average of 10 million land animals (not including fish or other water dwelling organisms) are brutally slaughtered

Do you remember your favorite “School Lunch”? I do, I essentially had two favorites; pizza and hamburgers with fries. Think back, wasn’t there at least one school lunch that the lunch ladies made that everyone was so excited to eat. Kids that habitually brought their super hero lunch box with thermos would leave it at home and be in line for pizza or burgers and fries. We could also go back for “seconds”, it was the best meal of the week including what was served at home.

There is a small relationship between fast food and cigarettes where each one significantly causes long term problems. Similarly, eating fast food and smoking too much becomes dangerously unhealthy and both are addicting. However, the difference is fast food started off on good terms. It was intended as a helpful way to provide meals quick and ready, thus given its name (Aldridge 279). Fast food restaurants successfully expanded and became popular all over the world. Despite the worldwide success and popularity, it did gain negative views after weight problems began to rise. The food served from the fast food industry was never considered healthy and soon became the target for the blame on health problems, specifically obesity. Although fast
