The podcast, “Taste of America,” focuses on the acculturation process that immigrants face on their diet when they move to America.
U.S food culture is different from that in other countries. People eat fast food often and supermarket items are filled with harmful chemicals.
It’s easy for immigrants to struggle to accommodate their natural diets to the over processed America. In a lot of cases, they contract illnesses, like diabetes that were rare in their home countries.
In the podcast episodes, immigrants share the stories of how American food has affected them and their struggles to live a healthy lifestyle in their new home.
