My favorite food is pizza. I think the most popular types of food are Italian foods including Pizza, Pasta, and many other dishes. The way I drew my conclusion was that when I went around the town to go shopping and counted the types of restaurants and there cuisine I found. There were 19 Italian food places, 12 Burger places, 10 Donuts places, 7 Mexican food places, 5 Chinese food places, and two Indian food places. Using my data I concluded that Italian food is the most popular type in my area of because of the number of places needed to cover the demand.

I wonder if this is considered deductive reasoning or inductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning uses facts and definitions and rules. Inductive reasoning uses examples to find patterns. Inductive reasoning is never a definite proof, it allows for the possibility that the conclusion is false. Saying that there are more Italian places than any other restaurant is a fact, it is undisputable data. however it is not solid proof that having the most number of restaurants signifies that it is the most popular. You are guessing that because that is the case in most places. THis makes your reasoning inductive.

That is true because I did use data but i ma not using a whole area so it could be considered inductive.

Just a question, did you really drive around, or just make up numbers, or did you use Google maps?

My favorite food are burritos, most especially the ones at Chipotle. The most popular kinds of food tend to be pizza. I came to this conclusion by using deductive reasoning, which uses facts, rules, definitions, or properties to form a conclusion. I googled the most iconic foods on Huffington Post. To no surprise, pizza topped the list with pepperoni pizza, closely followed by chocolate chips cookies.

I don't have any "favorite food", as I enjoy a wide variety of foods, such as pizza, sushi, steak, noodles, rice, etc. On the contrary, eating the same food again and again would only make me dislike it. As for the "most popular" food, this would obviously vary by location, so I will narrow it down to America. In addition, the meals that people eat at home would mostly likely depend on the country that they're from. Therefore, I will narrow it down further to the food people eat in places outside of home. In America, I find that the most popular food (meals, not snacks) would be foreign food, especially Italian and (American) Chinese food. Previously, I would have chosen fast food, however, increased awareness of its unhealthiness has led to a steady decline in consumers.

My favorite type of food would be red velvet cupcakes, the ones with coconut frosting (I eat that by the bucketful).

My favorite food is tacos. I think the most popular food is pizza, because there are many more pizza restaurants in an area than other types of restaurants. They are also crowded with people most of the time. Also, people usually order pizza for parties, and it can be delivered to your house. I used inductive reasoning because I observed how often people order pizza or go out to a pizza restaurant.

My favorite food is lasagna. I like it because, well, it''s the most heavenly food on the planet!! I think the most popular food is probably chocolate. Everywhere you go, you will find chocolate, from Switzerland to Japan. Chocolate is a universal food that everyone knows of. I used observations and patterns to figure this out, so I used inductive reasoning.

I can't say I have a 'favorite food' as I LOVE eating although I may not show it, but preferably I would have a burrito bowl from Chipotle. The most popular food depends on the area you go to. In Edison, you could find practically any type of food you want, from Mexican to Italian to Indian to Chinese as we have the diversity of people. How, some of the most popular foods include the mexican and italian dishes as the majority of people eat these dishes for a meal. I used the inductive reasoning by studying the lunches sold in the cafeteria and the lunches people bring from home. Approximately 45-50% of lunches could be put under this category because everyone eats it!! Therefore, mexican and italian dishes are I would say the most popular.

My absolutely favorite food would be falafels(especially the ones from NYC). According to CNN, The top 3 foods in the world are Massaman curry from Thailand, Neapolitan pizza from Italy, and chocolate from Mexico, respectively. But overall, the main types of preferred food are seafood and desserts whether it be lobster or sushi or ice cream or Shepherd's pie.

My favorite food is.......I don't know. I am a person who likes trying many different cuisines from all around the world as long as its vegetarian and its not dosa or sushi(eww). Some of the foods i love are tacos, falafel, samosas, pad thai noodles, pav bhaji, paneer, pizza etc. The most popular food in the world is probably pizza and ice. There are millions of pizza restaurant and ice creams parlors all around the world and you cannot find even one country from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe that does not sell pizza or ice cream. However, if you walk down the streets of Edison, New Jersey(Oak Tree Road in particular) you can find a diversity of cuisine due to the facts that it is home to people from vast corners of the world. Obviously, the most popular food in the township is Indian food and there are several Indian grocery stores(like Patel Brothers) and restaurant where people from all over the nation stop by at to shop and eat. In addition, more than 1/3 of edisons population and 1/2 of Edisons population in Indian american, which results in the popularity of this delicious and sometimes spicy cuisine in this town.

My favorite food is Thai, but pad Thai noodles are my favorite. I think the most popular famous food is pizza, because i used deductive reasoning which are facts. Many people have stopped liking sweet food and pizza which is in the section of Italian food has always been one of the most popular.

My favorite food would probably be ramen. The most popular food would obviously depend on where you live, for your taste buds would be formed by the food there since childhood. If I had to say, I would say noodles, only because with such a great variety of choices, there's bound to be some type that you like. Though, there are even more things to take into consideration, such as ingredient quality and chef skills. Therefore, it's not very accurate to say this is the most popular food.

My favorite food is buffalo chicken wings. They are spicy and juicy which covers everything I like about food. However, the most popular foods are Italian foods like past, pizza, and spaghetti, as Akshay was saying. When I usually sit in the car on drives, I mostly see fast food restaurants or Italian restaurants such as Pasquale. Most Italian dishes also have different styles and ingredients that most other countries, religions, and foods don't use. I used deductive reasoning because I actually observed the different restaurants I passed by and actually noticed what ingredients Italians do use compared to other restaurants and their religion and style of food.

I know I have not come to school for the past days, but I tried to read the lesson and viewed others' responses in order to make my conclusion. My favorite food is Fried Rice; however, the most popular foods are Italian dishes, such as pasta and pizza. The most popular foods are developed according to where you live. If you live in a Italian populated community, most types of food will be Italian too.

My favorite food is the four cheeses pasta at cheese cake factory. The most favorite and liked food are italinan food and mexican food becuase there are many restauraunts with those foods, any many people make them at home. Also, using the data shown from the other students answering, they also like italian and mexican food. I used inductive and deductive reasoning, becuase some of it was opinionated while the rest was fact based.

My favorite food is pizza rolls. I think the most popular food is fried rice because it is an Asian food and there are the most Asians in this world than any other population. I used inductive and deductive reasoning because it is a fact that China has the largest population, but not necessarily all Chinese people like fried rice Comments are closed.
