Mexican food is better than Polish food.
I must first state that in response you must first acknowledge the others argument, and in doing so be able to refute it better. The post addresses nutrition, vibrant colors, simplicity, and flavor. There are more than enough reasons to refute these claims. But first let’s take a dive into the deep history of mexico. Let us find its roots to therefore find its flavor.
Large parts of what we now call South America were inhabited by separate indigenous tribes. They lived off the land (no manufacturing here). Mayas and Incas created civilization that said touched the sky. They built them from slave labor. They had human sacrifice to bring them rain, sun, and other seasonal elements. When the Spanish Conquistadors arrived they said that they were cities of gold. Turquoise gold and silver were being mined at the time, but there building were not covered in it. Now if there city touched the sky and there building looked like gold. Imagine what their food must have been. Spanish Conquistadors brought disease and took slaves but more importantly brought pork, beef, onions, garlic, and chicken. The Mayans based many of their meals off corn meal. So as ingredients changed the food changed as well and the birth of Mexican food arrived.
`Food is an extension of a persons culture, lifestyle, and well being. You can tell a lot about a person by their relationship with food. And yes I did say relationship. It’s one that gives and takes. It gives you satisfaction, nutrition, and feelings of comfort and safety. But it takes time respect and knowledge to create wonderful cuisine.
This is his lifestyle, his relationship is deep and loving.
This picture is of typical polish cuisine.
This is vibrant Mexican cuisine.
At the heart of every human are their needs. Our basic needs are food shelter and water. So at the core of each country is food. I have listed before what food does for us. Poland has lost los every war ever to go through their country, never supplies the UN with troops, and only remain a country due to other nations gratuity. So if their basic needs are food and they continue to serve typical polish food and they continue to lose not only physically but go decline in statistics such as GNP, GDP, and population growth. So there needs to be a change and the problem resides in the food.

Gus,
You have come up with a good argument considering the fact it took you so long to post it. But honestly, the argument is about food, you lost my interest right in the beginning with all the history stuff. When I am discussing food, yes the history is important, but honestly all the information that you provided, is it necessary? Personally, I also believe that when having a "mature" argument,there is no need for bashing the opposing side. You can clearly make your point without having to stoop so low as to bringing in the fact that Poland hasn't won a war. Come on, how old are we? Plus, at least the Polish had enough courage to at least try to fight unlike other countries that just surrendered. But now I am getting off topic, so back to your blog. Other then what I have mentioned, I think you are finally getting on track. I guess I'd rather argue what you have posted then argue an empty blog.

I would take Justine's comments to heart. Keep your argument focused. Any history information should be used to support your side of the argument that Mexican food is better. I let you all do a "less-serious" topic, so don't make me regret it. Don't make yourself regret it.
Your post is not a brief. It is a weak sketch for a history report. Focus.
I think that you have a good argument, but I really didn't like the introduction. I feel like I am getting more insight on history rather than the food. Your points aren't really clear and concrete.
