I really enjoyed the cook a meal for friends assignment. It was an interesting thing to have Environmental Studies students do because of how much of environmentalism surround food production. I debated doing a vegetarian, locally grown, organic meal just on environmental principle - but I don't really eat that way. I know I should, and hopefully some day I will. It's just so impractical for a college student - if that kind of environmentally friendly, sustainable eating is really going to take-off, it's going to have to made much simpler and cheaper. Next year I won't be entirely on the school meal plan, so maybe more environmentally friendly eating will be possible. I know that eventually I can change my habits in order to eat more seasonally, locally and organically, and I will work to get to that point. I also hope that this way of eating will become a widespread trend that leads to bigger changes in the way Americans and the other developed countries of the world eat their food.
