Where do we get our food from?

Most of the food found in the supermarket is not from Singapore.
Singapore get its food supply from many countries.

Take a look  in your kitchen or at the supermarket.
Observe a few types of food  such as

• vegetables
• fruits
• canned food
• dairy products
• rice
• meat
• seafood. 

Look at the food labels and record where the food originated from.
Examples:
                                          Vegetables from Malaysia

                                          Canned tuna from Thailand

                                         Canned condensed milk from Indonesia
