How does food shape our society?
-Every society has a way of life that people share. This way of life makes up the culture. An example of this is what people eat.
-"food feeds the soul. To the extent that we all eat food, and we all have souls. Food is the single great unifier across cultures. But what feeds our souls?"
--Food as Identity, Food as survival, Food as status, food as pleasure, food as community and food as humanity.
-"what you want to cook and eat is an accumulation, a function of your experiences. The people you've dated, what you've learned, where you've gone. There may be inbound elemnts from other cultures, but you'll always eat things that mean something to you".(ted talks -Jennifer)
-Origins of familiar dishes. Two cultures combined to form a new cuisine.
-Food culture is a connection to food in a pure and deep sense.
-People connect to their culture through similar food patterns. It is a way of retaining a cultural identity. People from different cultures eat different food. The ingredients, methods of preparation, preservation techniques, and types of food eaten at different meals vary among cultures.
-There are specialized versions of dishes depending on regions. Ie. a the japanese change chinese bao into pizza buns and take chinese noodle dishes and turn them into ramen (with soup version).
-Ideas are open sourced. Ideas from one person can be copied and propagated across an entire system.

-Foreign influences
Food in Japan
The first foreign influence on Japan was China around 300 B.C. , when the Japanese learned to cultivate rice. The use of chopsticks and the consumption of soy sauce and soybean curd (tofu) also came from China.
Shintoism, was another important influence on the Japanese diet. In the A.D. 700s, the rise of Buddhism led to a ban on eating meat. The popular dish, sushi (raw fish with rice) came about as a result of this ban. In the 1800s, cooking styles became simpler. A wide variety of vegetarian (meatless) foods were served in small portions, using one of five standard cooking techniques. All foods were divided into five color groups (green, red, yellow, white, and black-purple) and six tastes (bitter, sour, sweet, hot, salty, and delicate). The Japanese continue to use this cooking system.
