Refrigerator Assignment

First is the list of legal substances in my refrigerator:
1. Milk
2. Juice
3. Plastic water bottle from Rider University
4. Homemade Ice Tea
5. Cat food
6. Left over pizza from last night
7. Pepsi cans
8. Barbeque Sauce
9. Relish
10. Coffee
11. Mayonnaise
12. Vegetables (not shown [in crisper])
13. Butter
14. Chocolate Syrup
15. Apples
16. Cheese slices
17. Grapes
18. Sliced bread
19. Grape Jelly

Now comes the analysis of my refrigerator. While looking at the items it contains, I realized my family was actually healthy. We don’t have much junk food, except for the Pepsi cans and chocolate syrup. We have a lot of dairy (milk, butter, cheese), and a lot of drinks (water, milk, juice, Pepsi, ice tea). This makes me see that my family is actually healthy, because we have a basic serving of everything on the food pyramid, vegetables, fruits, and dairy. In our freezer, we do have ice cream and a lot of meat, but other than that we have a steady non-processed diet. While looking at my fridge, I also realized we don’t have any cultural food. Hidden in the bottom shelf, we have mozzarella cheese slices that are Kosher for Passover, but other than that we have the basic American food such as pizza and cheese. This shows that even though we do like to enjoy cultural food when we go out to eat or order in, we don’t really make cultural food. The last thing I noticed is that we do not have a lot of food in our refrigerator. Except for the extra toppings that go on our meals, (such as barbeque sauce or grape jelly) all of the foods we own are either in the freezer or you don’t have to refrigerate it. The refrigerator is more for snacks that don’t require a lot of time to make. This assignment was actually really interesting, because I never really looked at my fridge and noticed what was in it before. Usually I try to stay away from keeping it open for too long because it uses up a lot of energy when the door is open, and most of my snacks are in the cabinets (such as cookies). It’s an usual assignment, but it’s also eye-opening to the way my family lives. The last thing I would like to say is that there is a plastic bottle from Rider University because we just went to visit the school yesterday and got a bottle from it.
