"Taking local on the road," made me think quite deeply about my eating habits. I've just been eating everything blindly, and not thinking twice about where it came from, so I feel like that story really opened my mind. In both of the stories, the authors make mention that most people of this younger generation don't do enough research, and don't consider what they are eating. I completely agree with the authors because I, too, am guilty of this. I think from now on I'll try to educate myself more in the food department.

College Food Focus Reflection
My college experience with food and the dining halls has been FANTASTIC. And there are just so many options! A buffet you can go to for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, that great Indian place, a little cafe with teas i've never heard of before, and even sushi. I could hardly find sushi in my home town, so of course I love it here. What I've had the most trouble with, is having to control myself around all this food because I have been eating my heart out everywhere I've been. In fact, I ate myself sick the other night and nearly threw up. So today I tried extremely hard to control the size of my plate, but then became succumbed to the lemon squares that I have a weakness for.

Those lemon squares... I can't help but eat them. But yes. I totally agree, while I try not to care about what I eat because I can't really help where I go to eat thanks to finances, I do feel like I should pay more attention to where the food comes from.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said about enjoying all the food that college has to offer. And I have the same problem about eating my heart out. I enjoy food and all the different types that comes with it. Whenever I read the article, it made me more aware of where food actually comes from. I would like to become more educated about where food comes from and how it gets on our plate.
ReplyDeleteThe Dining hall is a wonderful experience. Having a full service buffet that ranges from fruits and vegetables to meats of some sort even vegan. This allows all students to get something that interests them in the café.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of students are blown away by the variety of food options on campus. It all depends on your previous experiences, but a lot of students coming from smaller towns and cities have never seen this much variety. Glad you found these pieces interesting!
