Folk and Pop Material
How folk and pop culture go about their choices of styles depend on different reasons. You can see that in folk culture, folk styles might go hand in hand with the enviornment that they reside in, and maybe certain values their culture may have. For pop culture, choices in style tend to change often so the people in this culture can stay up to date. Styles in clothing are always changing with time because new clothing ideas are always being presented.
Folk cultures have different prefrences and taboos when it comes to food. These are often determined by that cultures religion, enviornment, or beliefs they may have. Some cultures will eat certain foods because they were taught that they have qualities that is beneficial to their well-being. How some cultures decide on what they eat is also determined by where they reside, an example in Asia, areas where it is moist rice is made in those areas, and where it is drier wheat is mainly produced. Taboos in these folk cultures are more food based, however not all are. Taboos are restrictions imposed by a social custom that are thought to be seen as beneficial but are actually harmful to them. An example would be that Muslims won't eat pork.
Popular culture food prefrences varies everywhere. Some regions prefer certain foods over others. Where some people may reside, they will prefer to have the drinks, and food that are locally produced, or made in that region. People in California drink a lot of wine because California is very known for making wine, and most wine that is produced in the U.S. is produced in California. Other areas near the border like Texas, they will prefer Hispanic foods because they are near Mexico and are inlfuenced by their presence. In states where religion is very prominent like Utah, alcohol is not high in consumption because of the beliefs.
