All the items are carrying more or less number of calories and nutritions in them. Rotation of food items supplies necessary nutritions which are required to our body time to time. People chose food items as per their food habit,taste and economic status.Study also reveals that choice of food depends upon religious beliefs also. For example a person having deep faith in Hindu/Sikh religion, won’t eat non vegetarian food. Either s/he will prefer vegetarian only.Choice of food is also based upon climatic conditions and type of land.For example, for a few thousand years till modern agricultural methods and practices changed it, people were dependent on whatever the local conditions allowed them to grow. In the North of India, it was fertile soil fed by rivers, which promoted growth of wheat. In the South, marshy land helped cultivation of rice more than wheat. Hence, the staple diet was woven around wheat in the north, and rice in the south.Things have changed drastically now due to sustained efforts of Agricultural scientists. Punjab probably grows more rice per acre than anywhere else. Wheat production has increased in south India. Youngsters in cities in the north prefer eating rice - less effort to chew rice. OTOH, roti is becoming popular in south - more fashionable to order north Indian dishes, and more variety at home.Appreciative note:- After doing the study of the given food items of India,China and India, the students found that the ingredients and nutritions found in a food item are more or less the same.The people of these countries utilized natural vegetation for making their food items. In due course of time, they have brought innovations in traditional food items.It shows that the people of each part of the world are creative in nature.Peope of the given countries are very much aware about the nutritional need of the body, so there is variety in the food items. It shows that the people of these countries take food in order to live healthy life,not for the sake of satisfying apetite of their tummies.Group PresentationConclusionThe study of this project given several benefits to the students. They searched about eating habits of the people of above mentioned countries. They not only learnt about the nutritional value of the given food items but the findings of the project widen their perspectiveabout food and cultures. They learnt that climatic condition and type of land including availability of water determines staple food 0f a particular country.
