In 2016, mostly everything is instantaneous: information, media, and most of all our food. People in the western world, particularly Americans, rely on the instantaneousness of food in their daily lives. This benefit of accessibility is also a downfall.

families in need of a cost efficient and accessible way of obtaining food for their families. Since you are a food bank here in Colorado, I wanted to propose to you that we start raising more awareness through the usage of advertisements and send/ take home letters for the families who are eligible for the food stamp system but aren’t aware that they are eligible. This may seem a little confusing at first, but it is a fairly feasible and simplistic idea. The Food Stamp System in America has…

From the field to the fork, food politics is present in every single bite we eat. Yet, because food is so central to our daily lives, people easily overlook the politics behind the production, distribution, and consumption of food. However, it is critical to realize that individual food choices and ideas about food impact the intricacies and contribute to the complexity of the food system. On the other hand, as consumers who have “responsibility for one’s part in the food economy,” we must also…

of my favorite foods like; spaghetti with tomato sauce and a veal sandwich with homemade french-fries on the side. After eating only a portion of the dinner my whole family was so stuffed that we could barley move. Still we pushed to finish the whole meal, not to offend my grandma.

Generally I don’t usually crave a specific type of food. I can say that on an everyday basis I just enjoy eating no matter what it is exactly. One thing I can say that I crave is a home cooked meal I am not one that enjoys neither fast food nor sweets. I prefer to sit down and stuff my face with a full plate of rice, beans, steak and bananas. If it were up to me I would eat a full course meal like that for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The cravings that I also have are because when I taste the…
