Seeds of Change
How closely is what you eat related to who you are? According to Michael Pollen, a food expert and author of numerous books on food, such as the Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food, if a close relationship exists, most Americans are corn. Does corn accurately describe you? Over the course of the semester, students began to answer this big question through a number of interdisciplinary projects with the same underlying theme. Some of these components included writing and publishing a bilingual cookbook on blurb.com, constructing hydroponic gardens, including one for a community center near the U.S. Mexico border, and interviewing and documenting the change local "change makers" are working towards in San Diego.
