I took this photo in Prospector Café at the Chick-fil-A express. Our Ethnography Project is based on food and this is a good picture because it shows students buying and eating food (not being a creep.) Food is one of those get-together kind of things. I know whenever I am with my friends, we always have to go get something to eat. I am fortunate and grateful that I can buy my own food and I always try to donate whatever I can around the holidays.

This is another photograph taken by me. This time it was at the Cone Center. In the picture are a few of the places to eat inside.This is is significant and related to our Ethnography Project again, because it is centered around food. As a person, there are many different choice when it comes to food. For instances, you can get a quick snack, or a full meal. There are inexpensive options, and expensive options. People almost always take into account the type of food, the type of meal, and the price before making a decision on what to eat.

We did some research on Tuesday on the number of people in
Mecklenburg County on food stamps and then I came across this: A record 46
MILLION people in the United States are on food stamps. This is unbelievable.
Almost 1/6 of the country is on food stamps (as of June 2012.) We all know that
the country is in a bad economy, but things are ever so slowly turning around.
Factors like unemployment, and now even Superstorm Sandy have a major impact on
this. I never knew that so many people were on food stamps. These people are
our neighbors, friends, family members. Every person knows at least one person
who is on food stamps. This has to change.
