Purpose

Food is a subject, necessity, idea, topic that every person deals with on some level many times per day. Today, people have to find ways to nourish themselves without spending a great deal of time or resources to do so. This can be achieved by cooking food for yourself at home and grocery shopping on a regular basis. However, many individuals do not posses the capabilities to cook on their own and must instead rely mainly on processed foods, pre-packaged dinners and fast food restaurants.

This blog will explore some easy and healthy alternatives to the mass array of food that is available to the vast majority of the public. The secondary focus will be to examine the many components of our food system and how they came to be increasingly industrial and unhealthy as they are today.

I hope to learn a great deal about new recipes, new foods, and new ideas to eat cheaply and healthy. Each of you are invited to begin to think critically about how the food system has an effect on the health of the human body and the sustainability of the planet and its finite resources.
