The World Food Day and food circumstances in Western Europe


 I researched about what was happening in Western Europe and the UK related to the World Food Day. World Food Day is an international day celebrated every year worldwide on October 16 to commemorate the date of the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. I focused on Western Europe due to the World Food Day. One of the problems that are focused in Western Europe is the food wastes. There are 3 million tons of wastes and primary productions have been wasted. Most wastes comes from UK households. On the other hand there are many counter solution for food wastes. The governments of Western Europe have settled the food bank which is non-profit organization that collects and distributes food to hunger-relief charities. Thus they also have suggest people to food compose the wastes to make alternative  fertilizer. More directly, France have been banned the food wastes by Law.

About Australian family and their food culture

  I had a assignment about researching the family and food culture in certain country. I researched about Australian family and their food culture. Australia seems familiar to me because I have been there and spent for 3 weeks with my host family. However, it was very different than I thought. In Molloy family which I have researched love sea food. Although, it is mostly cooked and they eat shrimp and spiny lobster, which are very big compared to Japanese shrimp and lobster. Also, they spend most of their money buying fruits. On the other hand my family spends most of their money with meat, fish and eggs because there are many food fighters in my family (like me).     I also researched about Australian cuisine like vegimite, lamington, fish and chips and Aussie beef burger. Like mentioned before I have been to Australia so it was familiar for me.  

Podcast relating to my food book

  In class I was assigned to find a podcast related to the topic of my food book. As I mentioned on previous blog, I am reading the book called, Trejo’s Tacos. This book is a cookbook which deals with Spanish cuisine and the author Trejo’s eventful biography. I also found the podcast called, Food Aesthetics Barcelona. This podcast is about a Finnish-Mexican couple searching for the best quality and best value meals in Barcelona. Also it suggest people how good or bad the food was, their food experiences, and the spot in Barcelona. I thought the book and podcast is corresponding because it suggest delicious Spanish foods. Thus sharing their experiences that they had. However, it is different that podcast is more local; shares delicious restaurant spots in Barcelona. Adding to that, it is same Spanish food but the region is different. Although both book and podcast is very interesting and humorous, I love it very much. Podcast: Listen to Food Aesthetics Barcelona on tunein. TuneIn. (n.d.
