Initial Thoughts

No matter what time of day i always make time to eat. Whether I'm happy,sad, confused,ashamed or tired i am always in the mood to eat. In my house hold food is highly praised and never taken for granted. "When where born we yearn for food and love" Ally stated this in the computer lab and i agree with her because when we're little we need food in order to survive and we need the nutrients that food gives us in order to grow stronger. We need love because we tend to sense of attachment to people especially the ones raising us.

After a long day at school and probably soccer practice I'm starving all i want is a hot shower and food. Before i even reach my door i can smell my mothers cooking. When food has a good smell my taste buds tend to open up and make me want to eat that specific food, but then there are those times when my taste buds get fooled and the delicious smelling food doesn't taste so Delicious. For example nuts for nuts stands in the city smell wonderful to me but the second i tried one i wanted to puke. Depending on a foods smell i get more attracted to it and tend to want to try it.

I find food to be very sacred and important to people because food satisfies many of our needs as humans and keeps a lot of us happy and content. Food brings many people together and is a great topic to use as a conversation starter, there are many opinions on food, such as how the meat is processed, the way the rosters are raised that make our eggs or even simple things such as different brands of cheese. I am looking forward to digging deeper into food and learning insights that could effect my future eating habits.

  1. Steph,

    Strong work. I particularly liked Ally's quote and the discussion of the role of smell, where you created a tactile description (taste buds opening up) and then pointed out that the nose can be fooled (which most people wouldn't have thought of).

    To improve - proofread one more time - "I" instead of "i", "mothers'" instead of "mothers", "rooster" instead of "roster".
