Yesterday, I was talking with a girl I tutor in math and she said something about her little sister being fat. I told her that her sister was not fat and that she should see the kids in the states. I told her about all the overweight kids in the states and how I believe it is because they eat nothing but junk food all day and the lunches provide them with food that isn't always good for them. I began telling her what type of food schools had and she was shocked that rice was not one of the options.
As we were talking about the lunch lines, I started to think that I cannot remember a time during all my high school and since working at high schools, that a school had rice as part of the meal. I think it would be a good thing for the students to have along with being cheap and easy to provide. I felt it was interesting because rice is something that is so common in Asia, but seldom used in the states. This girl could not imagine a day without rice, and students in the US hardly ever eat rice.
Just another cultural difference that I find interesting.
