Italian food is packed with healthful benefits. The cuisine features an abundance of minimally processed plant foods and olive oil, along with low to moderate amounts of wine, sweets, dairy, eggs and red meat. According to a study in "Clinical Interventions in Aging" in March 2008, Mediterranean cuisine supplies certain nutrients that help reduce the risks associated with some chronic diseases. In America today, an often date night is an Italian restaurant meal. Not only is the food delicious, it is classy and healthy and everything that people want today. Because I come from an Italian family, it is the most common food I eat. For example, tonight I had tortellini which is a form of pasta that has cheese baked inside the pasta. In the novel Like Water For Chocolate, food is portrayed as a big part of tradition. To me, food plays the same role and I am very lucky to be a part of such a rich and prestigious food culture.
