Tierra Miguel Farm

Our adventure to Tierra Miguel Farm was pretty abstract and surprising. When we were talking about the location in class, I pictured this huge farm with lots of crops and greenhouses, and lots of green plants. So when we pulled up at the small couple acre farm in the middle of this huge valley, it was surprising. For the first hour, we watched a presentation on the history and the study of organic foods on the farm and it was more for the sociology class. It wasn't until later on during the evening, were we able to walk around and take pictures of the wonderful landscape and the interesting and organic plants that the farm had to offer. Many of the students were able to pick and taste the vegetables and spices that were grown on the farm and it was wonderful.

Edward Burtynsky

Burtynski is a very interesting and inspiring artist that has captured many images of place people have never seen before. He goes above and beyond the normal thought of pictures and captures scenes that many of us would take for granite. I love the picture of the landfill with all the tires. It demonstrates the consumerism and mass production of America and the reality and impact it has on the environment. 

Food Choices

Today I have eaten nothing. I rolled out of bed about 20 minutes before my first class and i figured I would be late if i took the time to eat at my house. So pretty much my body is surviving on the huge dinner i enjoyed last night while watching the Grammys and I ton of water I have been consistently drinking. I know it is not healthy for me and my body is "running off of fumes" but it is the story of my life until break time in this class or unitl I eat dinner. I love to eat, don't get me wrong, it is just Mondays are the rough days and throughout the week I usually stick to my healthy diet of the dollar menus of Carls Jr. , Jack In The Box, and Wendys.
