Colton, thank you for your insightful post. I appreciate your comments about not only cultural challenges facing the children of immigrants, but also the language differences. Garcia (2005) mentions most people belong to more than one culture based on ethnicity and neighborhood. The kids you worked with are divided between the new American culture and their home culture. My kids (older teens) ask for fast food once a week as well because it’s easy, recognizable and it’s what other kids their age are eating. It’s not lack of knowing it’s not heathy.
In addition, you spoke about not having the money to belong to a gym. When I was growing up we rode our bikes everywhere, played outside and went to the community pool in the summer. No gym membership
