IntroductionDiet is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as "the type of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats" (par. 1). In terms of this definition, diet can change not only from person to person but from country to country. Depending on where you are in the world, you might be putting food on your table that has had quite a journey across the world. For the purposes of food diary assignment, it was mandatory to complete a personal food diary. The food diary contained information about the different foods I ate over the course of a week, where I purchased the food, and where the food or its ingredients came from. The food in my food diary was divided into four categories, with an unknown category for food that I couldn't find a place for; Canada, United States of America (USA) and Guatemala. Of all these categories, 53.5% of my food came from an unknown source, 27.9% of my food came from Canada, 14% of my food came from the United States, and 4.7% of my food came from Guatemala. it's grown locally in Canada, more specifically my family purchased their food from a small farm just an hour outside of Calgary. This personal statistic of mine is important because it supports Turner's (2011) findings. Turner (2011) states that “…[Canada's] grain imports have increased 100% since 2000” (para. 22). Most of my money is invested in importing goods that Canadian farms were once famous for exporting, such as wheat. The fact that I only buy a fraction of my food locally is important because it means I'm not supporting Canada's declining agricultural sector. Based on completing this food diary assignment, I learned that Canadians are global food consumers, my source…half of the paper…is this, and what our cultural heritage is based on. this food diary showed me that Canadians are global food consumers, the food I eat depends on the season, and that my Albanian heritage is greatly reflected in my food choices.
