Welcome to Food and Stuff, a blog that is documenting my senior year of college through the food I make! This should be a jolly good time and I'm happy you're here to share it with me! I may even have random Food Funnies every so often, which you won't want to miss! So put that apron on and gather your bowls, this is going to be fun!

Anthropology and Food
Jamie Oliver giving his TED talk.
Jamie Oliver is a big inspiration to me. He is such an incredible advocate for heathy living! I don't even know if he's doing it, but he is researching the Anthropology of Food. He critically analyzes 'Food Culture' particularly in America, and how the Food Culture of America is ultimately creating an obese nation. Remember, he is not an academic, he's a chef, and in my opinion one of the most incredible chefs in the world. Not only is he advocating healthy, natural food, he's constructed means of CHANGE!
I hope someday to follow in his footsteps, after culinary school, and utilize my degree in Anthropology and my culinary knowledge, to help change the Food Culture of America.
Here's Jamie Oliver's TED talk:
"I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity." -J.O.
