I’ve wanted to focus my thesis content within the environmental/sustainable realm, and I’ve really been leaning toward honing in on food. I’ve been fighting it for a while, but I know so much more about nutrition, local food, organic, etc. then I do about biofuel and I want to know more. There are a lot of stories out there about school lunches and fighting childhood obesity, so maybe that’s a good entry point into food. Not quite environmental, but in a round about way, I think it connects.

Through Marion Nestle’s blog, I found Fed Up: The School Lunch Project. In what sounds like a cross between Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me and Julie Powell’s Julie/Julia Project, Mrs. Q is a teacher who plans on eating school lunches everyday of 2010 and blogging about it. I could barely make it through Design Camp eating in NCSU’s cafeteria—I wonder if she will make it.

As far as this making the content cut, we shall see. Ethanol does have something to do with food too, so for now, it’s TBD.
