JCB: Chapter 2; Your daily diet:

I love food and I love trying new kinds of foods from different cultures. A daily diet that you would see me eating consist of rice and beans. Those are two daily foods that I contribute into all my meals. Growing up as a Latina/ Filipino rice is a necessity for both of my cultures. Filipinos and Latinos are so much alike. They are both crazy when it comes to parties and are always so open to each other. I also have beans in my diet because just like rice it is a necessity for both of my cultures. Although there is one difference when it comes to beans and that is the type of beans they use. Most Latinos prefer to use pinto beans or black beans when it comes to making them. As for Filipinos they prefer to use a bean called pigeon pea. Yes, the name does say pea in it and that is because it is a pea that is considered to be a bean native to Africa. I do feel like a lot of people have this same exact diet or have one somewhat similar. Sometimes a diet isn’t just what you choose to eat it’s part of your religion or it is what you know to eat. You’ve had it for so long and it was put into your life since you were young and it stuck with you that all these years. It’s like a habit pretty much. For me I love this diet and I honestly wouldn’t mind eating it for breakfast lunch and dinner 24/7.
