Hello!
I'm Maureen Vento, a current sophomore at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, majoring in Fine Arts.
This blog is for my Critical and Creative Forms writing class, in which I will be researching why we as humans waste so much of the food that we make and how it all happens.
As to how I personally relate to this topic, I'm no dumpster-diver for food, but I have begun to make a conscious effort to not waste food as much as I have been raised to do. Throughout my childhood, if you didn't like the food that was given to you - throw it away! was the mentality of my family. Which - because it's my family - is a tactic that I can understand as wanting to please everyone and make everyone happy. However, as a college student on a severe budget, wasting food is not only ridiculous in itself, but now it's wasting money too!
Following today, my posts will result from research on this topic from a variety of sources.
