Final Post

In this course, I have learned many things about the world of food after taking this class. The most significant thing that I learned was how different people in different cultures have very different relationships with food Some people eat just to survive, some people see it as a health benefit, and some eat for enjoyment. I learned that food can be a way to connect to others. Maybe it could connect you to people you just met, or maybe it brings back memories of your home and your family. This course has also taught me a lot about research writing. We read many articles and were required to compare the different views as well as incorporate our own ideas into our writing. This is a very useful skill that I'm sure I will use in the future. Though my relationship with food may not have changed very much throughout the quarter, the way that I view food certainly has. I no longer see it as just as a source of enjoyment. I now relate food to home and my family which gives me special connections to certain foods now.
