Reading news paper is not really my cup of tea since it takes long time for me to read...
Anyway, I've chosen 3 articles that have some kind of connections to foods from the newspaper on Nov 26. 2015.
1. For Pets, It's Fat Thursday With Pies, Dressing Under the Table (A7)
As human gives their meals to their pets on the special occasions, the pets kind of tend to get addicted to it and it's difficult for them to get back to the normal pet's foods.
There's a funny part in this article.
Even one of the owners of fat pet tried to lose his cat, apparently, "The only thing he ever not eaten was diet cat food."
So, whoever keeps pets in their house need to be careful with the weight of the pets.
2. Thankful for Private Property (A10)
Thanksgiving day has its roots back in 1620 when the first Pilgrim immigrants arrived from England.
Since then, they had to find a way to survive by themselves and that was a huge problem, but it got solved in 1623 thanks to the native Americans who share their foods and knowledge of cultivation to the Pilgrims.
Having read this article, maybe Thanksgiving holiday isn't just one of the boisterous holidays but the day we have to think about sharing needs.
3. A Roy Rogers Thanksgiving Lesson (A11)
This article is also about immigration to America.
When the author's grandfather came in the United States and first saw hamburger restaurant in 1980s, he thought it was a sign of great bounty. Also, "He commented that if the Soviet people, who often must wait in line for goods saw U.S. supermarkets, 'there would be a revolution.'"
Basically, America has been "a country that other people are literally dying to reach."
However, this prosperity of foods couldn't have happened without accepting immigrants and foreigners, or sharing foods, like their ancestor did.
So, maybe it is important for us to be reminded of the importance of sharing foods to break the ice.
