Comparing my stuff in my room with two
grocery food items.
Compare the stuff in your room with a few types of foods in a
large local grocery store.
1) Take the Eau Claire City bus, which is free for UWEC students (just
show your ID) to a large grocery store, such as Coops, and determine the
country-of-origins of two food types: fresh vegetables and wines and hard
liquor.
2) Read the labels above the vegetable displays and the labels
on the wine and liquor bottles. Some country names are easy to find;
others, take some effort. Many items will not indicate the country-of-origin;
don't worry about getting a complete list of countries for these food types.
Here is an incomplete sample table of what you must
include in your project:
