나 는 , 외국인 ( Migrated ) : “ Ultimate Wellbing ” Consumption by Korean Middle School Students 
 “ Ultimate Wellbing ” Consumption by Korean Middle School Students 
 At the beginning of the year one teacher decided to stand at the kimchi bucket to make sure every student takes a portion . Since then I have been looking at student ’ s plates to see how many load up on Ultimate Wellbing ( Copyright Otto Silver , 2009 ) . I estimate that about one in three students do not take kimchi with their lunch . Many of the students will even admit to not liking kimchi ! 
 Why do I find this so interesting then ? I estimate that to be about the same number for foreigners who will not eat kimchi . Most foreigners I have met who have been here for a reasonable amount of time will eat the stuff . Very rarely is it too spicy and like other fermented products you get “ addicted ” to the “ disgusting ” taste very quickly . 
 Why then do Koreans persist in stating that foreigners don ’ t like or can ’ t eat kimchi when , based on my not so scientific research , the numbers say Korean students are not exactly a bright light for kimchi consumption either . Why do new textbooks for use in schools persist in teaching this groundless stereotype ? 
 Bundaegi on the other hand …
