have $4.91 per day to spend on food (Hatton). So for my food immersion project, I lived off of 4 dollars and 91 cents a day for five days. This experience not only shaped the food I ate, but my eating habits, my shopping habits, and my daily routine for those five days and connected me to discussions we had in class regarding food deserts and minority discrimination with real life application. I had $24.55 to turn into 5 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 5 dinners, and snacks. I did not allow myself…

A wide variety of people showed up at the snack snack; homeless veterans, bachelor…
