Food-Related Book Review

 The title of the book I am reading right now is "Bread, Wine, Chocolate The Slow Loss Of Foods We Love" by Simran Sethi.

The author is a journalist, but also writing novels like this. This book was published in 2015 from HarperOne.

The main point this book wants to talk about is as you can see from the title of the book, she wants to tell us the loss of food, by talking about few types of food from chocolate, bread, wine, beer and more. 

As far as I read, she mentions how we eat small amount of species that live around the world. For example, we only eat meat such as beef, pork, chicken, maybe lamb but as you can see, they are few of the species we eat as meat. She wants to alert us that we eat same species too much. It is true that we must eat variety of food, but it is also difficult to change our eating habit.

Before I start telling my experience at IVE project, let's start with what IVE project is. IVE project is an exchange project, which is used for students from around the world to discuss varieties of matters. As I am in food related seminar, I discussed about food. This is how the IVE project page looks like. There are many themes going on with discussions such as art, Covid-19, technology and more.  I uploaded my discussion question, and there were lots of replies. I believe there were replies from Japan, China, Taiwan, Columbia, Turkey and few more. Replies from Turkey were the most(I guess) which was unexpected. I had a decent discussion with them, which I was really relieved because I did not think there would be lots of replies coming from many people. I guess I started with easy question which made many people to reply.  In total, I did enjoy reading those replies from many countries. It is not easy to have conversation with lots of countries. It was a great opportu...
