German Health

Although the German cuisine basically only consists of sausage and spaetzle, those are not the types of foods they would consider healthy. When I did my research, I found a bunch of foods that Germans would consider healthy. A very popular dish that I came across would be the German Potato Salad. This includes bacon, onions, flour, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and 6 peeled and sliced potatoes. Another German cuisine that is known to be very healthy would be German Pancakes. This can be eaten as a breakfast or as a dessert. This includes sugar, eggs, milk, flour, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Because sausage is such a prominent food in the German culture, people do find ways to make it healthy. There is a German sauce called German Curry Sauce. This sauce consists of 1 cup of ketchup and 3-4 teaspoons of mild curry powder. This sauce is used to give flavor to the sausage and is a very healthy sauce. I personally think that the German cuisine is healthy because it consists meat and plenty of vegetables. I believe that the American diet isn’t very healthy; especially because the obesity rate is going up. I think because the unhealthier foods are cheaper, people are buying those and are continuing to eat those. Vegetables and healthier foods are much more expensive then the cheaper and the processed foods. I think food is portrayed as healthy in the novel but emotional health is coming off as to be kind of unhealthy. Everyone seems to have drama going on and everyone seems to be very down and upset all the time.  For example, Tita always seems very upset and seems to have something going on in her life.
