Things that taste good affecting the world

I have created this blog as a project for a writing seminar that i am currently enrolled in at Cornell University. The writing seminar is called Having a Lot on Our Plates: an introduction to the Sociology of Food and Nutrition, and this blog will therefore be updates with posts that summarize and reflect on readings that we will be doing for the class. Each post will somehow connect food and nutrition to the world on either a political, social, financial, or even physcological aspect. By reading through the blog you will learn about why different cultures eat the way they do. Hopefully the things that are addressed on this site concoct a delicious meal for your mind. Comment on anything and everything. I am by no means a master on this topic and any thoughts are appreciated and actually beneficial to the blog...so here it is...some food for thought....

Burger King, Not So Cheap


Recently a friend mentioned to me that the most expensive burger in the world was made by Burger King. I immediately expressed my disbelief, asking exactly how Burger King went about making the most expensive burger in the world. He didn't know too much about, just that he knew it existed. When I got home, I immediately went to google....

Turns out, he wasn't kidding. As of 2008, Burger King's "The Burger" is the most expensive burger in the world. My mind was blown, especially by the fact that I personally do not think that "The Burger" looks as good as "The Whopper"....

Go figure...
