Where to start?

Hi!
I'm keeping this blog for a class "Having a lot on our plates" that focuses on the sociology of food. Keeping a blog is a first for me but my interest in food is far-reaching. My family has been full-time farming since before I was born, so naturally I have become increasingly interested in our nation's food production system and all of its repercussions. I'll be reflecting on topics discussed in class, and hopefully add some personal insight to the mix. In no way am I intending for this to be some prolific piece of mastery- i'm certainly not an expert- but I am mindful of the choices we make every day that not only effect our stomachs, but the world we depend on to keep us alive.
Go Food!
