Wow I got so used to posting on a regular basis, and now it's weird being back...though it's only been a few days. Needless to say, after my relaxing weekend home, it's back to real life. Meaning homework, midterms, work, and no sleep. :(
On a better note, tonight I saw a great documentary ("Food Inc.") and attended a discussion panel after. The panel explored the problems (economic, social, ethical) of the agricultural industry, and suggested steps we can take as consumers to change the system and improve the quality and ethics of the food we're eating. Michael Pollan, the author of The Omivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food was there, along with Eric Schlosser, who wrote Fast Food Nation, and Robert Kenner, the director of the film. It was a great experience and I encourage all of you to check out the film and the books (if you haven't already). I'm off to bed--love to all!
