Reflection: Weeks 1-7

The first half of the semester is over and I still feel like we just started. I'm still learning and getting use to this blogging idea and all the assignments that go with it. I have come to find that this class is very quite interesting. All the conversations we have had about the government and the environment and especially snack time! I haven't had snack time since seventh grade, and I learned that I have missed it! The most significant thing that I have learned and that has impacted me the most is watching the movie Tapped. After watching that video I literally went home and finally went through my cupboards and got rid of all my processed foods, such as chips, mac n cheese, pasta side salads, etc. I also did some informing to my roommates about the big Culligan water jug they drink out of. I don't think it changed their minds, which is okay, but they were happy to listen. I'm excited to start this new chapter in my life of eating healthier and better foods. I have also decided that I'm going to start buying more local foods, such as beef. To help support our local farms. This class has helped me realize a lot and I think it should be required for all majors. I have some friends who won't drink anything but bottled water or pop, and I feel that me explaining things to them isn't as much of an impact as if they were to actually take the class. I'm excited to learn more in the second half of the semester.
