Domesticated poultry are raised specifically for their flesh and eggs. In fact, chicken is the most consumed meat in the world. That’s precisely the reason why my grandpa, Chris Schmidt, created a trailer that helps get chickens from the farm to the shelf and ready to be eaten. Parked a couple miles outside the city limits in a cow pie infested pasture…

help with organizing my scrambled thoughts. As a 16-year-old girl currently typing with numbing fingers, one thing I cannot clearly remember is how I came to realize I want to become a doctor. If there’s anything else aside from wanting to wear a white lab coat that persistently urged me to wake up one time and claim “I’ll be a doctor!”, I don’t remember. But as life as unpredictable as my friends actually enjoying the crazy combination of tuna and peanut butter in a sandwich I proudly…

When thinking about history what's the first thing that one thinks about? While most think of history as a black and white story of conquests and wars, there are a few historians who focus on looking over the history of food.

When most people think of the North Carolina State Fair many things come to mind such as richly smoked tin foil wrapped turkey legs, tipping, turning neon rides, driving around in circles looking for a place to park, and foods that no one would ever think to deep fry. When I think of the North Carolina State fair, I think of cold fall breezes, ammonia, sawdust, haircuts, and rushing around. My side of the State Fair is the side few see and many ignore. The State Fair for me normally begins…
