Final Blog Post

By taking this course, I was able to learn just how much food can impact lives.  The articles we read all throughout the course gave examples as to how food is not just something that tastes good, but also a strong indicator of culture and family ties.  I also learned much more about the production and nutrition of food.  I really enjoyed watching Food Inc. and learning what actually we are eating in our world today.   This all matters greatly because food is such a substantial part of everyone's lives.  Before this course, I had thought about possibly researching a career as a nutritionist. I didn't know much about food, or all the aspect and characteristics it entails, but after taking this course, my desire to pursue a career as a nutritionist has definitely become stronger.  I wasn't sure what to expect by taking this course, but overall, it greatly increased my interest in the food world.
