Christopher Carter - Food Movie

Christopher Carter - Food Movie
Food can bring us back to places that we have been before, and otherwise never would have remembered. Also, when you get together with your relatives that you really don't have too much in common with, food can be a common language. Different cultures have different perceptions on food, whether it be food should be conserved and cherished, or food should be plentiful and simply enjoyable. Personally, I don't relate food too much with other things in life but I can easily understand how many people do. Sometimes I can feel it when I eat something that my Mom used to make for me back when I was in high school, but for the most part I just remember the things my Mom did for me outside of making me food, and reflect on those memories.

The most interesting section was the part that covered Ramadan. It's really hard to imagine eating before the sun-rise. What if you wake up late and the sun is already up? I guess you can't eat anything until night-time. I think it would be a challenging experience, considering the lengthy time of Ramadan. It was funny to hear that the person being interviewed in the video said "my family cooks better during Ramadan." I guess if you are sparingly getting food, you want to make sure that the food you are getting is delicious and nutricious. I think it would be cool to go over to someone's house and sample Ramadan cooking; not only do you get a taste but you also get to eat later if you want a snack.
