Food for Thought Meal Project
My meal for the Food for Thought project is themed around one of my favorite foods: Mexican food. The meal starts with Chicken Quesadilla for an appetizer, a Mexican Burrito Bowl for the main dish and Flan for dessert.

Appetizer -- Chicken Quesadilla (Serves 5 People)
You Will Need:
chicken breasts (cook them and shred into small pieces) - $8.99

head of lettuce - $0.79

This is because each individual brings his or her own personal perspective about ethics, so that each theory is biased by personal perspective.
