Assignment task: "My Favorite Latin American Foods" (eighteen hundred words): . If you had to eat foods from only one traditional "diet area" for a year, what area most appeals to you and why? You cannot answer Mexico AND Brazil. Pick one. Talk about nutrition, colors, taste, texture, smell, cultural connections, appearance, etc. Do not make this a "train of thought" essay. We all have our taste preferences. "Because crickets are yummy" is not an adequate response. Back it up with data and creative observations. Those who use nutrition websites to calculate will be rewarded. Give this some thought. Food is a major part of all our lives, so choose wisely!
