1.) One thing that I notice when I make choices in buying food is that there are a lot of trends in the food industry. One example of a recent trend that I have seen is that people have made a much bigger issue of buying whole wheat bread vs. white bread. This is becoming a social norm for people that it is healthier, and everyone should focus on buying 100% whole wheat bread. These trends then become social norms. One trend that has affected me and I have seen become more of a social norm is vegetarianism. This trend has been around much longer and still continues to be a popular trend today. I have seen several of my friends try to adapt this diet. I have considered attempting it before, but never go through with it.

2.) Two of the social issues that have contributed to this vegetarianism movement are obesity, and the cruelty that occurs to animal livestock. Many people believe that cutting meat out of their diet is better for their Nutrition. As covered in the module, they believe this decision will help against obesity and lead to healthier nutrition. The better nutrition will then turn into living an all-around healthier lifestyle. The other reason I see people cutting meat out of their diet is because of the issues around the livestock industry. The videos like the ones mentioned in the module cause people to cut out meat from their diet to try and stop the mistreatment of livestock. This trend is still increasing and the awareness of livestock mistreatment is growing.
