An experiment in matters of food and eating
I am constantly thinking about food. I exercise so that I can indulge, I am interested in how things land on my plate, and fascinated about the different relationships we have to it.
I feel like I want to focus on food and eating for my final university project but am not yet
able to translate this feeling into a defined direction. So to get me started, I have begun to document everything I eat. I believe I eat healthily and waste little, but am curious about what else I can discover about my diet….
After three days I have learned that I (and probably most of us in this age of 24hr convenience) take food for granted, and don’t really think about all the ingredients that go into even a simple meal. It is a challenge to single out and contemplate every component of a meal when you are hungry and dying to eat, but already am I gaining some insight into just how complex my food supply chain is, and am dreading the outcome of some analysis into food miles and my carbon footprint.
