How would the American values of "health" be evaluated in the ideas of "good" foods and "bad" foods? Think about all of the words that have religious or moral connotations that we use to describe food. For example, "chocolate that is sinfully rich" or "I was bad this weekend - I ate some candy." What are the cultural values being expressed in these statements?
