Food Media: Criticism is a Dish Best Served Culturally.

I intend for my paper to be driven by culture-centered criticism with an emphasis on gender based research. My focus is not only on how food media portrays and influences women, but will also include perspectives on male  stereotypes in media.

By focusing on food media as an artifact of American culture, I can gain a more broad perspective of the social impact of food. American norms will be analyzed, including  the nation’s standards of size, gender, and age. Ethnicity, however, will not be central to the argument because the concept of nationality as culture is the primary basis of my research.
