Why a Food Blog?

I chose to make this food blog as one of many options for a creative activity project for my Environment and Society class at Earlham College. The assignment required that we make a blog post of one meal per day for a whole week. The post was required to include a photograph and the description of the meal eaten, and one food had to be traced back to its source as far as possible. I began this journey(literally), on my drive home from college for Thanksgiving break. Its a 16 hour drive from Indiana to New Hampshire, and we wanted to get home as soon as possible, so our meals weren't exactly meals while we were on the road. Mostly cheese and crackers, grapes, bagels and peanut butter, bananas, and some snack food. Once I arrived in Boston, MA, I began to eat real meals and that is when I started recording what I was eating. I stayed with a friend as Northeastern University for roughly four days and then continued onto New Hampshire, so my meals show a little of the big city and also of my meals from my small, rural-esque, hometown.
