Option 1 Food history

 * Article Evaluation

These subtopics need the following changes:

The Middle Ages: This article doesn't show the "worldwide view" of cuisine from the Middle Ages. My idea for editing this subtopic is to separate cuisines by region and then explain their eating styles, cooking methods, etc. I think this section would make the most sense that way because there is no worldwide cuisine of the Middle Ages.

Early Modern Europe: I want to add to this article and include more of the eating habits and cooking styles from this time. Currently it only talks about agricultural products.

Option 2 American cuisine

 * Article Evaluation

This article has issues related to its credibility– I would like to add sources to verify the information. There is also information included in this article that doesn't necessarily relate to the main focus of American cuisine. I would like to read it over and look for informational flaws, then change them if needed based off of data from my sources.

Option 3 History of Japanese cuisine

 * Article Evaluation

The main issue with this article is that it relies too heavily on one source. I want to use additional sources from the library to round out the article as a whole. It appears that some of the text was translated from Japanese as well, so I will probably read it through to check for fluidity.
