Let’s Start a Food Fight!!

Frankly, it’s been a dream of mind to start a massive food fight and see it through since I was a little kid! So good for them!! — “Parents Object to Food Fight Punishment: Boring Food” Can you imagine!? Sure it’s wasteful, but how much more food goes to waste everyday in the restaurant industry, [...]

“What do you want to eat?”

Is the Question of the Century. We all make difficult decisions and sometimes unconscious decisions everyday about what to eat.  I know I wake up wondering about lunch and dinner, and when people ask me to pick a place to eat or to recommend them a good or fun restaurant, I know I instantly want [...]

Is Nutritious Food Good Food?

So summing up a discussion we had in class the other day, I love that when our instructor asked “is nutritious food good food?” I’m pretty sure she silenced the crowd – birds chirped, and tumble weeds rolled right into the classroom. I almost died laughing after that.  Have we all gotten so jaded that [...]

Let’s Play Tradesies

In the past two months, I’ve been trying to wrap my head around economics.  HaHa, yes.  Let’s take a moment here to giggle.  Those who know me might laugh at the fact that I’ve avoided taking any sort of economics class since high school, and that I make a goofy “math face” whenever I compute [...]

Snack Time! or Brunner?

NYT article of interest Fo Serious. I felt like all I did yesterday was SNACK. Which in my mind is like a tease, a way of food shopping where I can never really find what I’m looking for unless I make it myself. Munch munch munch.  I woke up feeling yucky :(  I really don’t [...]

Don’t Touche My BEEF. (Slate Article Response)

Another beef article that gives me beef with the writer.  Please understand my frustration when I say that articles like these add to the already confused general public knowledge about what to eat nowadays and how to make skewed consumer choices.  Sure, pile it on top of the mountain of info, ads, and articles to [...]

So, What is Food Studies?

Faced with this hilarious question over the holidays, most of my colleagues and I have decided on a great answer.  For all them aunties and uncles out there who think I’m studying nutrition, and or who stare blankly at me when I say I’m a master’s candidate in food studies, this is what it means…(more [...]

It’s Raining Meatballs…

Finally got around to watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and was surprised at the strong anti GMO message wrapped up in hilarity. pretty niffty. Gimmick after gimmick, they pulled all the stops out to make the message family friendly and digestible. I give it two yum yums and one healthy high five ;) [...]
