Food Habits

By looking at the chart of vegetables, grains, roots, nuts, and fruits from school, i eat 47 of the foods on the list per week. I eat many different kinds of fruits and vegetables and grains but not ass many roots and nuts (mostly rice and bread). I like having a wide verity of foods since there are so many things in the world to try and many flavors to mixed to create new emotions of sensations. Every week by eating many verity of organic food allows me also not to be picky at the different foods i eat. My family doesn't go to the typical American grocery store but mostly stands with just either produce or meat found in Chinatown. There is many different things to pick from it and i learn how to pick out good fruits and vegetables by watching my family do it. We all share cooking for each others in lunch and breakfast and share work evenly but for dinner out Grandparents cook for us since they are the most experienced with cooking a large verity of foods.

--Grocery store trip--
what information can you get from a grocery story?
You can gather the nutritional facts about the different foods and the categories they do in.
How does the store display its stuff to make you want to buy more?
The store display foods as children items more near the bottom and the adult items more near the top, they put a lots of one brand of a kind items on sale but still make a profit, they also only put the things that don't sell as much on sale and some things that sell a lot on sale so it makes people want to buy it more.
How should parents help their kids appreciate a wide verity of fruits and vegetables?
I don't think parents should force kinds to eat more fruits and vegetables since kids should be able to eat what they want but no too much. Parents should just offer it to the kids at dinners as a side dish and encourage them but not make them want to eat it, parents could also buy a big verity of lay them out in different weeks to see which one they like the most and the child could eat that fruit or vegetable more.
How many verity of one particular item is on sale? (of an item you normally get from the store.)
23 different types of assorted nuts
