Not much of a start

Currently nothing much is going on. Thanksgiving is in a week and I couldn't be happier! A few days away from the dorm room will be so welcomed. Hopefully I will come back refreshed with a harder work ethic to finish off the semester. Somehow I doubt it.

So a little about my life as a college student ( it is still weird to say that!) I am a food science major living with an awesome roomate S. She is wonderful and she has also shed new light on my food view. She has ciliac disease, meaning she can eat no form of gluten whatsoever because it will cause her cilia in her intensine to die and that is not a good thing. She will become ill if she eats anything containing any wheat, barley, or gluten containing starches. Luckily she is not the only one around the US or the world for that matter to have this disease and there are many speciality made cereals and cookies ect to cater to her unique situation. So in this respect she has impressed upon me the importance of those foods that cater to those with special needs.

Another influence to my view on food is a program called the bailey scholars program. This unique group has brought sustainability to mind as well as free trade. I am also interested in the course that biotechnology is taking with our food system.

So with that my food blog Food Attitude will include such things as going out to eat, new products, biotechnology, free trade, sustainability and anything else that has to do with food. My life not only revolves around food in the normal sense but I also hope to make a career out of it. Remember we all have to eat.
