The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarinonce wrote, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” Put more simply, this means “You are what you eat.” Most people today relate this saying to healthy eating. However, Brillat-savarin was actually referring to our personality, character, and culture.

Most people today relate this saying to healthy eating. However, Brillat-savarin was actually referring to our personality, character, and culture.
At a minimum, the kinds of food local people consume tell us what they grow in their region, what kinds of lives they lead, and what they like and do not like.
