Who doesn't love food? It is delicious, puts you into wonderful food comas, and comforts you after a bad breakup.
Food pervades almost all aspects of our lives. Many view food as just a simple material item that serves to sustain our survival, but in reality, it influences our daily routine, social interactions, mood, biological needs, culture, personal comfort, and even our hobbies. As an avid foodie, I am very interested in the relationship between people and food. In the following pieces, I explore the role food plays in health, family dynamics, racism, and ecosystems. In my world, food has always been there in times of need, a positive force. It was interesting to start considering the different ways food can negatively impact society as well.
