People Don Not Eat The Same Food All Over The World

It varies from place to place.The eating habits of the people of a country depend largely  on its geographical position,climate and soil..That is to say the kinds of food that people eat depend on what they can grow or afford to buy from other countries.For instance,people in the tropical countries eat a lot of fruits and vegetable which grow abundantly in these regions.The chief foods of the people of Hawaii and Polynesia in the pacific are taro roots,bread-fruit and seafood.They also eat a lot of limes,coconuts,bananas and pine-apples which grow in plenty in this island.The Indians of Central America eat mostly fruits and vegetable which they easily get around them.Again the Eskimos live almost entirely on meat and fish.Because vegetables cannot grow in the ice-covered regions they live in.It is interesting to note that the world 'Eskimo' itself means"the eater of fish."In fact,a lot of fish in eaten raw by the Eskimos.
Meat is eaten in the countries that have large parterres for grazing livestock.Large meat eating countries are Australia,Argentina,Canada and the U.S.A
It is quite natural that fish should be an important food in the countries with large seacoast.Sweden,Norway,Denmark,Finland and Japan are examples of such countries.Much of the food of Japan which is country of island,comes from the sea.They eat allot of sea-weed.Thus we see that the kinds of food that people eat very throughout the world.
