Will Canada Win? (Paper Topic)

     So one day, I'm sitting in class and my teacher says, "You have to write a twelve-page paper! Oh yeah, and it has to be about food!" It's fine, no big deal. I just have to pick a topic that is interesting enough so that I actually do it. I've always been mildly curious about the Canadians and their culture. Mostly because they speak French over there and I love the language. Although that has nothing to do with food, I decided to go through with it, anyway. So here it is: "Eating Habits: The U.S. vs. Canada". I think it has a nice ring to it. I am really curious, though, about how we eat and how it compares to another country, such as Canada. Does its proximity to us affects its eating habits? I don't know, that's why I'm doing the paper.
     So basically with this theme, I plan to uncover the truth about the eating habits of the U.S. and Canada. Of course, we pretty much know about the U.S.... so just Canada, then. And it will most likely be a two-sided argument. Which country has the worse eating habits? I would like to research which types of food is popular in each country, as well, and find out which is "healthier". Of course, if we use our standards to define healthiness, will this account be accurate? But I digress, as usual.
     What if Canada is worse? What if we (meaning the class, because I'm sure other, less ignorant people know about this) find out that Canada has worse eating habits? That would be an ego booster, huh? Although I believe the exact opposite, it would be a nice surprise. I don't know, when I think of Canada, I think of people eating like fresh fruits and vegetables all the time. I actually know some people from Canada and they eat healthy almost all the time. Of course, I know this doesn't exactly mean anything, but it's something. It's all prior knowledge I have.
     I don't want to reveal everything about my paper. If I do, my 12-page paper will seem less interesting. Speaking of that, I should probably get started...
