Never Seconds
Hello everyone. Today I would like to talk about what I thought reading "Never Seconds."
What do you think of Martha Payne and what she accomplished?
Speaking of what she achieved, I think she is incredibly awesome. I could not have done what she accomplished when I was in the age of hers. It is really interesting that she decided to discover about school lunch also in overseas.
What are your memories of your school lunches?
In Japan, every students has the same lunch prepared for the day. However, that was what was different from my school in Morocco. I used to live in Morocco when I was in elementry school. My school prepared for various kinds of lunch every day, so we were able to choose what to eat. My memories in my school was that school lunch was made mainly for Islams, because Morocco is an Islamic country. Therefore, there were no pork in the cuisine. Still, the menu was delicious and I used to love it. School lunch reminds me of my good days.
Did you feel that you had any input on the nature or quality of your school
lunches?
I wasn't actually eating school lunch in the veiwpoint of nature or quality, so to be honest, I am not sure about the reality. However, maybe it did include vegetables and fruites made locally,.
What do you think of the dining facilities at AGU and how do you think they
can be improved?
I think it should be more nutritious. Since they rarely include meat and vegetable, I think it is quite unbalanced.
What creative way(s) do you think we (individually or as AGU students) can
help others in the world less fortunate than us...especially in connection to
food?
What is important is to reduce the amount of food we throw away. In Japan, over seventeen million tons of food are disposed annually. Waste reduction may not help the world less fortunate than us directly, but it is necessary for us not to throw away such a huge amount of food.
I think it should be more nutritious. Since they rarely include meat and vegetable, I think it is quite unbalanced.

Analyzing a food blog
Hello I'm Risako again.
I hate Autumn. It's freezing cold outside. I couldn't wake up early this morning because my bed didn't let me go. But one thing I love about Autumn is that there are a lot of delicious food. Pumpkin, sweet potato, chestnut and so on.
The food blog that Eri, Hinako, and I were given is called "Oh, Ladycakes." It is a blog about vegan baking cakes. The quality is quite high. The beautiful pictures and the neat explanation of various kinds of sweets are interesting. Moreover, since it has recipes written, I suppose it is useful for mothers who loves cooking for their children. As I mentioned earlier, the pictures on this blog visually attracts the readers. Doesn't this look tasty?
Unfortunately, this blog is written only in English. Therefore, I thought that it is better if it is accessible for foreign people, such as Japanese and French as well. Overall, I like this blog. It is a so-called 'Kawaii' blog. I hope you enjoy reading them too. http://www.ohladycakes.com

About My Book
Hello, I'm Risako. Thank you for visiting my page.
This is my first time to post on this blog. I hope you enjoy.
Today I would like to introduce my book that I have started reading.
The title of the book is called "Uncommon Grounds."
Author: Mark Pendergrast
Year of Publication: 1999
What kind of topic do you associate this title with? Well actually, when I first found this book, I had no idea what it was about. But as I read through the summary, I found out that this was a book basically about coffee. I chose this book because I love coffee and I was interested in the origin of coffee. To tell more about myself, I now work at Starbucks as a part-time job. Since Starbucks is a store that specializes in coffee, I thought this was a good chance for me to know more about it.
I haven't read much yet, but I would like to share some bits of knowledge.
Try to answer to my question: Do you know where the birthplace of coffee is?
The answer is.. Ethiopia.
Maybe some of you already know a kind of coffee which is actually called "Ethiopia."
We don't know when or by whom coffee was discovered, but there is a famous legend about a goatherd called Kaldi.
Kaldi is a boy not only a goatherd but also a poet who loved to wander around with his goats. He knew quite well about his goats, but one day, he found something wrong with them. He saw the goats dancing excitedly. They looked really strange. Then, at the same time he found berries (of coffee) as well. Therefore, Kaldi thought that this Ethiopian berries has a power to give people strength and vigor. This is why "Ethiopia" is still a famous, prestigious kind of coffee.
That's it, see you soon. Bye!
