Things that taste good affecting the world

I have created this blog as a project for a writing seminar that i am currently enrolled in at Cornell University. The writing seminar is called Having a Lot on Our Plates: an introduction to the Sociology of Food and Nutrition, and this blog will therefore be updates with posts that summarize and reflect on readings that we will be doing for the class. Each post will somehow connect food and nutrition to the world on either a political, social, financial, or even physcological aspect. By reading through the blog you will learn about why different cultures eat the way they do. Hopefully the things that are addressed on this site concoct a delicious meal for your mind. Comment on anything and everything. I am by no means a master on this topic and any thoughts are appreciated and actually beneficial to the blog...so here it is...some food for thought....

Are you rich enough to eat your wealth?


In class the other day we were talking about Organic foods and an interesting discussion about what kinds of chemicals were put in foods came about. After this discussion i went to look up some more information about the topic because i was not fully aware of teh exact names or number of chemicals that were used in foods that could harm the human body.

You wont believe what i found during my search. Check it out.
