Common misconception
People eat the same types of food.
People eat different foods for a number of reasons. This includes time of day, occasions, likes/dislikes, where we live, who we live with, and tradition.

Encourage pupils to talk about the food they eat, establishing some of the reasons. Pupils could work together to create a montage of foods they and their families like, looking for positive similarities and celebrating differences.
