US Culture Guide For Exchange Students

Is America like what you’ve seen on TV?

No…and, yes.

Many students come to the United States expecting the United States to be like MTV, or Survivor, or another television show that’s been exported to his or her country.

Some of that is what America is like. But, some of it is exaggerated, or only represents one aspect of American life.

Food

As a whole, Americans love food. U.S. consumers spend millions of dollars every year on purchasing food ingredients or prepared foods. Food accompanies the majority of events, gatherings, parties and even meetings in the United States. It often gives people something to do and can help to eliminate awkwardness in social gatherings. From ball games to board meetings, food has a place at them all.

The U.S. has released a Federal Food Guide Pyramid to help Americans make healthy choices when selecting what to eat. However, most Americans do not meet the requirements set forth by these dietary guidelines. The daily intake of fats and sugars often exceed the recommendations while the fruit, vegetable, dairy, whole grain and lean meat intake generally falls below the recommended amount.
