Umass's Argument

One of the emerging and ever growing trends in many of today’s restaurant scene has chefs utilizing local farms to gather the freshest ingredients that are available, with specific focus on what is locally grown. According to a recent issue of Bon Appetite Magazine, many of the “Hot 10 Restaurants” in the US utilize local organic gardens and base their nightly menus on what is in season, humanely raised, and often times sustainably grown. Chefs are creating menus that change with the season; some even change offerings daily to highlight produce picked in a garden at 9am to be served with fish caught that same day. In the quest to find the new, restaurants are embracing local, seasonal dishes so fresh you can taste each individual herb and spice. This growing trend is taking hold in places from fine dining restaurants to your neighborhood, casual dining spot.

Buying local is the new slogan of producers and sellers selling their foods in the food market. There are a few stances that can be taken such as not bothering to care about where the food came from, getting what can be purchased within reason, and the extreme locavore. Although eating local and organic is desirable, it is improbable to create a sustainable lifestyle with the given difficulties.

The locavore movement has become a much larger cause in recent years.  People are increasingly aware of some of the issues pertaining to eating foods grown far away.  These issues have banded some communities together to sacrifice their favorite foods and to begin buying locally grown foods.  These communities are experiencing numerous benefits as a result of their decision to change their culture and eat locally grown foods.

A project from humble beginnings, the desire for local food products continues to grow as public opinion sways towards finding alternatives to large-scale farming manufacturers. Their minds are in the right place, regarding the flow of local economics and community unity. Notwithstanding, misinformation and contradictions have plagued the movement from the beginning. It is a movement propped up by lies and superstition.

Although the menu changes, one thing doesn't - the house made bread with espresso balsamic butter. It makes a great way to begin the meal. The main dish menu often includes a chicken dish made with local Lamppost Farm chicken. There will also usually be a beef dish, seafood option and vegetarian dish. While one may not know what

Having being told to focus my attention on other colleges has yet to cross my mind until as of late. The reason UMSL was a number one choice for me was simply their ranking of their criminal justice program. What is now being realized is that their rankings on other standards are not up to par. According to the Niche’s 2018 best colleges, the University of Missouri St. Louis is ranked number 216 out of 666 public universities in America (Niche). This ranking is based on the following, academics, diversity, athletics, party scene, and so on. What needs to be included is campus safety and security. As of late, UMSL’s campus standards have dissipated. That's what the following will be specifying on.

Whole grain pasta is a must, as we both know it is healthier, and it tastes better in our opinion. In short, I always eat whole grain pastas, lots of vegetables, and fish or poultry in substitute of red meat every once in

How Would You Like It? Your sitting down to dinner; it’s a home cooked meal. There are sides of mashed potatoes, green beans, yams, and macaroni and cheese. Your drink of choice being soda, and for dessert ice cream.

Nearly every American has worried about their weight at some point in their life; it's in human nature to try and maintain optimal health. Recently, Americans have been having a harder time controlling their weights, and obesity is on the rise. This is the result of unhealthy dieting diets and insufficient exercise. Kutztown University is no exception to this problem. Students do not have enough healthy options, especially around breakfast timeduring breakfast hours. More specifically, South Dining Hall doesn't offer enough whole grain options to students, and this negatively impacts students; this has a negative impact on students.

Consumer food demands has made a corner mom- and – pop grocer to a fast, mass, and globally producing supermarket and there is a price to pay.

As you scan the meat aisle of the grocery store, how do you select your meat? Some people choose by brand, price, looks and even organic verses non-organic. But does any of this really matter? Apparently, none of this matters in today’s society when choosing the meat in which our families will consume. According to Eric Schosser the author of the film “Food Inc.” the idea that you would need to write a book telling people about where their food came from is just a sign of how far removed we become. In the past, our food used to come from local farmers that have grown and harvested the fruits, vegetables, meat etcetera themselves, but in today’s society, most of our food isn’t grown locally, it’s shipped from across the world and pumped with many products to increase shelf longevity and some have even been finished growing with gas so the item is ripe by the time it hits the supermarkets.

The most unique trait of U Mass Lowell is that it’s a focus on undergraduate research, science and engineering. I am extremely interested in computer engineering, robotic and computer science; I just love working in laboratories and in teams. I want to study at a reputed university, with a stimulating environment as I have always lived in major cities where I can go to cafes, to hear music, to museums and teams and sports events as part on my life. Offering the impressive intellectual and technical resources of a prestigious research university, U Mall Lowell would provide me the confidence of knowing that I would be getting the most forward-focused education in computer engineering and robotics. U Mass Lowell has become one of the most connected

I noticed that they had certain specialties in science, a subject that I am very much attracted to. That’s when I came across the Environmental Science program and it made me think of how happy I was when I was involved with environmental programs in high school. I realized that I had never considered Environmental Science as an option because it was not even offered at JMU. I started considering UMW more and saw that it wasn’t far from my home, meaning I could commute and save money. Another important factor was its size. JMU has upwards of 20,000 students, whereas UMW is around 5,000. With a smaller population of students, I feel like I will be able to receive a more comprehensive education. I now feel optimistic about the idea of attending UMW and earning a degree in Environmental Science. I hope someday to be involved in conservation efforts or possibly to educate others that there is no “Planet B”. I am not going to make the same mistakes with my life as when I went to JMU for no reason other than convenience. I intend to make my life my own and make a career out of something I love, which will be made possible by attending the University of Mary
