Forms of globalization: Food

==Food==

Not all the food in America was originally from America. A few of these foods are grapes, apples, and peaches. America wasn't the only one to get new foods. During the Columbian exchange maze, potatoes, and sweet potatoes were just a few foods to reach Europe. Most of the things brought and taken from Europe and America reproduced or became popular because of new lands.

Coffee falls under sugar and sweets in the food pyramid and is a food. Coffee is also the second most popular trade thing in the world. With over 2.25 billion cups of coffee consumed around the world on a daily basis, it is no wonder that coffee is such a highly traded commodity. The United States and Europe are the two counties the consume most of the 2.25 billion cups of coffee. Most of the coffee produced in the world to day comes from south America or Africa. With coffee being on such high demand they ship it everywhere. Coffee is also one of the most dangerous foods in the world to obtain. Some of the richer coffee beans are located in hostile territories which adds to the cost and demand of the bean all over the world. With the popularity of coffee it has been globalized.

==Restaurants==

Today a lot of the food we eat are from restaurants. McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Subway, and Pizza Hut are restaurants that have gone global. Due to this globalization there are many different foods for each restaurant in each country. Some of them are healthier and some of them are bad.

With over 33,000 restaurants globally, McDonalds is one of the largest globalized food chains in the world. McDonalds can be found in over 120 countries. They open 2,000 restaurants open yearly, McDonalds is one of the fastest growing fast food chains in the world making it globalized.
