Research Questions


Back in Vietnam, my major was Hospitality Management and I have a great interest in food industry; therefore, most of my writing topics are related to food and diets. American cuisine, with traditional dishes such as meat loaf, mashed potatoes, cheese cakes, apple pie, etc. is my all time favorite, regarding its development history and the influence from British and French cooking. After reading a book about American eating habits in post Civil War and the Wild West time, the impressive advance in food industry and the dining etiquette at that time attracted me. I was curious on how they influence not only the American diets but also the global food industry nowadays. For this research paper, I would like to write about the American eating habits in mid nineteenth century. Three research questions that may help me develop my research paper are:

1. How the American eating habits in mid nineteenth century influence the American diet nowadays.

2. The similarities and differences between the American eating habits in mid nineteenth century and the American diet nowadays.

3. Although with advance technology, is the American eating habit nowadays a back step of the way it used to be during Post Civil War?

I read Meka and Tara's posts.
