Acculturation changes the eating habits in various ways. First-generation Americans may adhere more closely to cultural food patterns and cling to the traditional foods. Second-generation Americans may follow cultural patterns only on holidays or family gatherings, or they may give up ethnic foods but retain traditional methods of preparation. Children tend to adopt new ways quickly as they learn from other children at school. Eating "American" may also symbolize status and make people feel more connected to their new culture.
