For our class field trip we went to Whole Foods in downtown Austin. There was a tour that I was slightly late for so I missed the produce department. :( I missed the display of guacamole that I could of admired with Virginia and Grace. I caught up to our FYS and "John" our tour guide when he started introducing us to their green college and the program it has. When John talked to us about fish and chicken that's farm raised he would tell us about their vegetarian diet. At first thought, this seems like a properly healthy diet, however after reading Michael Pollan's book, the Omnivore's Dilemma, it gave me a differed opinion about food. Especially a very common grain known as corn. It was brought to our conversation what kind of vegetarian diet was fed to the poultry and fish sold at Whole Foods, however John could not confidently answer, and we suspected that perhaps corn was part of the combination of "vegetables" in their diet.
Omg, we had barbecue and it was delicious! I propose that our FYS go out for barbecue at Franklin's. Lucas, what's a good time for you?
In the end I tried out several sugarless drinks sweetened with fruit juice, gelato, some chips and a variety of salsas, cheese, bread, and this mozzarella pasta. The mozzarella pasta was quite interesting and Antonio ended up getting it for his dinner. The pasta guy was nice, like our taco guy at school.
After spending three weeks at school I really missed rice so I got Unagi with Bok Choy and Rice. I paired it with a bottle of peach sweet tea. It was the perfect combination of the comforts of home food with the influence of school. ;)
