Interview

Rachel and I discussed several aspects of food.  Through the interview I learned that she and I have similar views on food and the American diet. The thing that stood out the most was that we kept focusing on moderation.  The fact that our portion sizes are too big and the belief that we have to clean our plates, is one of the major problems with the way we eat in America.  We also talked about processed foods and the health consequences that are arising from eating too many of them.  She spoke about living on campus and the food she had to eat because there were no other options.  Because the majority of the food was processed and chemical laden, it typically made her physically feel awful.  We ended the interview talking about growing up in families with parents who cooked almost every night and the impact that has had on our attitude towards food.
