I am really happy to be finished with this project. I will say that I wish we had more time to do the research but all in all I say that the effort put into this project was greater than any project I did this semester. I am now more at ease with Windows Movie Maker and Whole Foods. Both which I've never touched until this semester.
From this project I've learned that I have more say in my food choice than I once thought. Even though I live at home and my mom buys most of the food I eat; I have the oppertunity to go out and buy my own food. I like the all natural and organic food. it gives me a better connection to where my food has come from and what's in it. Even if its just little changes in my eating, I enjoy having more control over what I eat and buy.
I'm glad that I did this project with Sharon; she is so passionate about eating healthier and having more of a connection to where her food comes from. Her energy was contagious and her williness to walk me through the stores and process of finding the right foods made my descion much easier.
 
  The excerpt of Eric’s Schlosser’s “Fast Food Nation: Why Fries Taste Good” explains where the French fry came from and why it is so popular today. This popularity comes from a lucky farmer in the 1920s, John Richard Simplot, who became a potato/ fry manufacturing machine by making good deals with the people and companies he knew.  The popularity of the frozen fry happened during J.R’s reign of the farm and potato empire.

 
  The article, “The Pleasures of Eating” by Wendell Berry talks about what people everywhere, not only in the city, can do to make their lives and food healthier and to support American farms. Farms are becoming a thing of the past in a bad way; no longer do people care where their food comes from, all they want is something quick and easy. One’s health is a major concern when it comes to food, yet people do not make the effort insuring that their food is fresh, clean and came from good healthy animals or soil. It’s for people to take a part in knowing where their food is coming from and what kind of food they are putting in their bodies.  America needs to focus more on quality than quantity.
