Because this quarter is beginning to control my life a little more every minute, this post will be no exception to my time constraint.
How do I talk to people about food? It depends on the time I have to explain and the reaction I might expect from that person after I tell them my diet.
Less than one minute: I am a vegetarian
One minute: I am a vegetarian who is really picky about meat. I like to know where my food comes from as much as possible.
Five minutes: In my dreams, I am a locavore. What is a locavore? Oh it is a person who only eats foods produced locally. It cuts down on the gasoline used in transporting food to me and provides me with a certain level of quality control. So you eat meat? Yeah, but very rarely and only locally, and even then I am reluctant. People eat too much meat in the first place, and beyond that, there are incredible environmental implications attached to over-consumption of meat and meat products. While I am in school and busy beyond belief it is a little hard to pay attention to the source of all my food. So what do you eat? I'm a vegetarian.
Ten Minutes: If I gave you the ten minute explanation, I would be spending too much time on this blog post than I can afford. Perhaps in two weeks after finals and exams are through. Then I will right about how food relates to architecture in a very unresearched manner. For now, enjoy this awesome graphic about... EGGS! Thanks to my friend j-martin at get up, get outt for posting this from someone else ;)
