HW 5 - Dominant Discourses Regarding Contemporary Foodways in the U.S.

A dominate discourse is when people have power and the majority of those people discuss particular issues. And when majority believes that the people that are head in charge or have the most power should be the ones with the most say and control in those particular topics. When it comes to food the dominant discourse are the dietitians, doctors, trainers and large food corporations.
When it comes to talking about the dominant discourse in america the topic that comes up alot is "What food should we eat? How can we make food healthier? What food is bad for us?". I also feel that the idea of organic is one of biggest topics being talked about. When food is being discussed people who are the ones talking are the people with power .
