Food, glorious food!

Meanwhile, back in the kitchen . . .
We're back to our readings and viewings, writings and discussions about FOOD.  It's alimentary, my dear Watson.  As you might have guessed, all this focus on grub is preparing us to write our first RESEARCH POSITION PAPER.  Yay!!!  Because it will be an argument, with support from your research, you should be thinking about what angle you might take, what you might bring to the table, if you will.  Hahahaha.  I'm hilarious.  Consider all the ways food figures into our lives, how it relates to health, ethics, politics, culture, environment, economy, and probably a whole stewpot of other issues.  I know you have a lot on your plate already (I'm killing myself here), but leave some room for this tasty topic; I think you'll eat it up!
