How grocery affects the environment?
To reduce food wastage we should only eat what we need and not throw the rest away reducing food wastage.
Biodegradable packaging is packaging that after use simply biodegrades harmlessly back into the earth. This helps significantly in reducing the amount of packaging that needs to go to landfill and in addition conserves energy as the biodegrading process does not require external energy. Two main biodegradable materials that can be used in packaging are paper and paperboard. These categories have many different types of each other.
Not usually but items that are prepared meals at the store are taxed and soda pop is also taxed. While no one likes taxes, virtually all places that have a sales tax, while they may not tax food (giving it a special exemption), they do tax sales of just about any tangible personal property or service, and define that to include meals. When exactly food becomes a meal is sometimes weird (for example, in many places, a pre-made sandwich at in a supermarket is food, but the exact same one made custom at the deli dept is a meal. One roll is a meal, but 6 or more is food, etc.). Lettuce, tomato, etc is food (non-taxed), from the salad bar it's a meal and taxable. Literally, in a few NE states the law reads that small marshmellows are fod (presumably used in baking) , but large one are taxable as food/candy. Lord knows what medium ones are! Clearly, something like fast food (or a restaurant dinner) is a meal and subject to the tax - again, almost everywhere.

What kinds of foods are in Mexico?
Due to globalization, cuisine from many countries can be found in larger cities of Mexico, including Chinese, Japanese, French and especially Italian food. The popularity of pizza and sushi have increased greatly during the past few years. American fast food chains like KFC, McDonald's and Burger King have also gained in popularity.
However, Mexico is a country with a rather large cuisine history: each state and region within Mexico has a traditional food for which huge encyclopedias can be found. In fact, traditional Mexican cuisine has been declared an intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO since 2010; a recognition not even French cuisine has ever achieved. Following are some examples from each region or state within Mexico:
- Nuevo Leon: Large-sized corn tortillas called sobaqueras (more than 25 inches in diameter) to eat beef meat, such as the arrachera. Also, much of the Tex-Mex food originated from Nuevo Leon, such as fajitas and burritos.
- Tamaulipas: Northern coastal state home of the carne a la tampiqueña: large grilled meat steaks accompanied by a portion of guacamole, black beans and rice.
- Puebla: Origin of mole poblano, which can be defined as a very thick, homogeneous sauce with complex flavors; it usually includes several varieties of chili peppers, tomatoes, almonds, nuts, raisins, sesame seeds, cloves, cinnamon, parsley, pepper, onion and garlic. The most common way to consume mole is with chicken, though any kind of meat may be served with mole sauce. Another preparation, common in restaurants, is enchiladas, or corn tortillas wrapped around chicken, cheese or some other simple filling, baked in mole sauce.
- Yucatan: Where the cochinita pibil was invented. A preparation of traditional cochinita involves marinating pork meat in strongly acidic citrus juice, coloring it with annatto seed, and roasting the meat while it is wrapped in a banana leaf. Another dish from this region is the sopa de lima, which is a chicken soup with a hint of citrus from lime, accompanied with chicken, tomato, bell pepper, cilantro, and some tortilla chips.
- South-Central Mexico: It is the region where pozole (from Nahuatl pozolli) was first created by the Aztec people. When Spain conquered Mexico, some ingredients like the meat changed, but it has kept most of the original recipe: a beef, pork or chicken soup with corn, avocado and some spices. Also tacos de guisado (corn or wheat tortillas wrapped around a meat stew) are from this region. It is worth noting tacos served on food chains outside of Mexico have nothing to do with the original dish. The torta or Mexican sandwich is a kind of baguette known as bolillo, which has several fillings, including ham, chicken, sausages, avocado, tomato slices, mayonnaise, onion and cheese.
- Jalisco: The regional dish most known for this state is the birria, which is a meat stew, made of mutton, goat or lamb, and it is often served with corn tortillas, onion, cilantro and lime. However, the most popular dish is the torta ahogada, made with a crispy bolillo known as birote, filled with chopped, fried pork; it is then submerged in a sauce made of chili pepper and/or tomato.
There are also many garnish or entree foods from Mexico, including guacamole, nopal salad and hot sauces like pico de gallo (tomato, onion, cilantro), green sauce (made from green tomato) and red sauce (made from chile pepper). Also, there are very unusual foods, even for Mexicans: huitlacoche (corn smut) is a delicacy in Mexico, and is even being preserved and sold for a higher price than corn; escamoles, which are ant larvae, are eaten with corn tortillas. Chapulines(grasshoppers), are toasted, salted and eaten as a snack on some coastal states like Oaxaca.
Regarding desserts, Mexico has a huge variety of them: cacao has been cultivated in Mexico for at least three millennia. When mixed with sugar, chocolate (Aztec: xocolatl, Maya: chocolha) is elaborated. Crystallized fruit is also common, and many traditional Mexican candies such as cocadas (made of milk and coconut), mueganos (popcorn with caramelized sugar) and alegrias (candies made of amaranth seed and bee honey) are popular.
