Some of the most interesting/useful things I've learned about food this quarter would be that food has become more about what is in it and not what it actually is, and people are so consumed with eating healthy we (yes, I am guilty as well) look past what we are actually eating. We pay more attention to what isn't in the food (saturated fat, cholesterol, etc.) than what is in the food (additives and other potentially harmful ingredients. This matters to me because over the course of this quarter my eating habits have started to change after learning the things I have through the readings and class discussions. I'm more conscious about what is added to my food rather than what has been taken out to make it more "healthy."
In terms of research, the most useful thing I have learned this quarter would be to bring in the quotes, analyze them and discuss them in further detail. While I learned this in high school, I tend to forget such rules when I don't write for extended periods of time (such was the case from high school to college.
In the future when I am in my other classes, I will definitely use the research and writing strategies I learned this quarter to write my papers. I will also make more conscious decisions on what I eat, but not focus on the nutrients so much, but make sure I am not putting more additives that could be harmful in my body and try to eat food I like, but in smaller portions. Like the French!
