Geography of breakfast


The jam you spread on your toast, the tea or coffee you drink with sugar and milk, along with the cereals you waffle down before work- just eating these products you are connecting yourself with places all over the world. Your coffee may have come from Mexico, South America, Hawaii, Africa, Jamaica, or Indonesia. Your tea may have been imported from India, Malaysia, Thailand, or China. The bread you buttered could have been baked in valparasio but imported from wheat flour. The butter you used could have been produced in France and packaged in England. The jam on your toast may have been packaged in France, England, or the United States. The cereal you eat may contain oats from the United States, and nuts from South America or Africa. In other words, your simple daily intake of breakfast is actually a result of many different and complicated economic networking all around the world. Many people were involved in getting your breakfast onto your table every morning.
