The

definiton of

urban

cash/food

nexus is

where the

systems

interact

with one

another.

Almost as

if they are

connected

through

circles, like

a circle

template.

For

instance, if

urban

cash was

put into a

situation,

food nexus

will be

influenced

by urban

cash no

matter

what

because

they are

connected.

For

example,

the

precipitatio

n system.

Without

one

another,

the whole

things will

fall apart.

This

relates to

nutrition

transition

by how

broad and

how much

areas both

topics

cover.

Nutrition

transition

involves

topics

such as

economic,

demograp

hic, and

epidemiolo

gical

changes.

Urban

cash/food

nexus

relates

because it

covers

various

cateogorie

s that

make up

the whole

system. As

though

nuttrition

transition

does the

same.

Based on

my diet, if I

had to

frame

myself into

the history

and

present

state of

the global

food

system, I

would say

my

location

would be

for the

present at

the

buying into

the

and for the

history,

would be

agriculture

and

side. I feel

to the

degree my

However,

the

Analysis on my Daily Intake:

I approximately eat about 2200 calories per day. I do not eat as much meat as I used to due to the fact that I don’t live at home anymore. Preparing meat takes some time, which I don’t have as much of since being in college. I would estimate that I eat about 3 oz of meat, usually white meat. Red meats tend to be more expensive and definitely may create a dent on your wallet! Plus, meats such as turkey and chicken are lower in fat and are leaner meats. Those qualities pertain to the reason why I prefer white meats over red meats

When comparing myself to the United States, I in fact eat about 400 more than an average American woman my age. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010, the reported consumption of food of a 19 year old man averages to 2,640 calories versus a 19 year old woman at 1,785 calories. This data is derived from national survey and self reported data. The content of food that an average American would eat differs a lot to other countries. Actually, in fact the content of food exemplifies actual nutrition versus how or how little calories were ingested. The significance of what kinds of food are being consumed is considered more important than the number of calories. The largest portions that make up most of the average diet are dairy and vegetables. When gazing upon the meat portion, it has been reported that it makes up a whopping 110 lbs of red meat, which is pretty high. Content of food is making American larger even though calorie intake is decreasing. This fact alone proves the power of nutrition of certain foods. Surprisingly, over the past decade, US adults have been eating steadily fewer calories despite the increasing rates of obesity.

Every Day Activity:

Although processed foods are convenient and easily attainable, I try to stay away even though it would be especially difficult since being a college student. All college students do is find what ever is convenient to eat! In the picture above displays change is possible: South Koreans ate 300 percent more fruit and 10 percent more vegetables in 2009 compared to 1980 concerted government-led campaigns. Most of the food that is included in my diet are not processed. I tend to buy fresh produce and cook it all into a dish. Yes, it takes time, but its much tastier and healthier. Lots of food that is processed include un-natural ingredients that many people are not aware of. They most of the time cannot even pronounce the names of these ingredient names! This is why I prefer to buy raw produce and create a meal out of it so that I know exactly what is in it. It is nice to know what your putting into your body!

One activity I really enjoy doing on a daily basis is traveling to different cities to try new foods and also to search or locations to eat specific foods. It is quite an adventure to me. In the picture below displays my experience of finally discovering the best ramen I had ever tasted. The restaurant is called Shin-Shen Gumi in Little Tokyo. Of course I cannot go out everyday, but I always try something new in the kitchen if I am at home.
