The Forest and the Trees is one sociologists response to the theoretical the different ways we view the world. He clearly describes the use of the 'sociological imagination' and how very much part of our lives- biographically and historically- it is. He further describes how the path of least resistance shapes decisions that we make. This will be the backbone of this paper as it will link my fruit and meat consumption in Saint Lucia and the U.S to a much larger food system, which indefinitely shapes these consumption habits.

The purpose of the website is to stimulate meaningful research on this important subject through leading Academic Institutions worldwide, while displaying the health data and making accessible for anyone who is interested. This website gives specific facts of the health facts which are vital to my view on the issue of diabetes in Saint Lucia. This website will also

Alexia Ernest This diagram and table indicates level of meat consumption per capita for countries. Primarily focusing on Saint Lucia and the United States over the years we can see how the level of meat consumption has fairly stayed the same, while Saint Lucia's meat consumption increases over the years. Using these figures I can implement the theory of the sociological imagination to show how factors have affected or influenced meat consumption over time. I will also use current figures to explain how my own meat and fruit consumption levels have changed since I have been in the United States.
