That's a picture that was taken at a Farmer's Market near my house.

Although I learned a lot in the past few weeks on how much corn is in my diet, where most of my food comes and how most of it is made, my views haven't changed that much on what I will eat. I was always pretty aware that there's corn in everything from the pop I drink to the steak that I don't eat. It grossed me out quite a bit knowing how cows are raised, but I've never eaten steak in my life, so it doesn't effect me learning that these animals are basically force-fed cornflakes which are bad for them in the long run. One thing I will try to change from now on is my view grown food, even if locally means from California. Hey, California is closer than China. If anyone watches John and Kate Plus 8 on TLC, they went to an organic farm and bought all of this organic meat. It was really interesting to see how such a on where my food comes from. Since I am at college and it's hard to find these things out, I don't feel bad for myself that I am eating food that was shipped tens or hundreds of thousands of miles to get to me. On the other hand, when I am at home for thanksgiving and winter break, I will try to purchase and eat more locally big family can manage to eat as much organic food as they possibly can!

I completely agree. While the stuff we did in class didn't really change my opinions, I find that I feel much better after I eat something fresh out of a garden or something rather than the burger that I often get. But in our defense, it is often hard to be that selective at college. Purdue has a good variety, but even so the fruit and vegetables are not quite what I would prefer
