Eating Customs in Lithuania and the United States Hi everyone, I would be extremely thankful if someone could quickly proofread this paragraph for grammar. The task was to write an academic comparison paragraph on the given topic. The content is not the most important part, so some of the ideas may seem silly. Thank you in advance! Eating customs in Lithuania and the United States Lithuania and the United States have both similarities and differences regarding their eating customs. Just like Americans, people in Lithuania choose to eat three times a day. Eating times are similar in both countries as well. People start their day with breakfast; they then eat lunch later in the day, and each day ends with dinner. Lithuanians have a tradition to have their evening meal with a family. Americans likewise tend to gather around the table for dinner, the time when they share their daily experiences and enjoy being together. There are some differences, however. While Lithuanians prefer home-made food, Americans consume lots of processed and fast food. Furthermore, people in Lithuania usually eat at home and use locally grown products. Americans, on the other hand, tend to eat out at least several times each week. There is also a difference in meal sizes. Lithuanians generally prepare small portions of food and are used to leave their plate empty. In America, in contrast, portions of meals are humongous, and therefore people waste a lot of food that is left unfinished. Although American and Lithuanian eaters have similar eating schedules, the two countries differ in the amounts and types of food their people eat.
