Reflection

I have learned that eating is not a simple thing, that it involves many decisions that we might make subconsciously but that are informed by the media, the economy, science, and culture. I have learned that the way humans eat has changed over time and differs between cultures and between individuals. I think it was very interesting to look at the way people write about food and research different issues surrounding health and eating, and the food industry. The things I learned in this class are important because now I am more interested in learning about food production and reading about food related issues.
