Food For Thought
UW-Milwaukee’s Semester Long Experience of Food, Culture, & the Environment
In the Fall of ‘10 UWM explored how food connects us to the environment, our culture, and to each other. Our daily choices reflect our values and personalities, all the while impacting our planet and our health. Through films, workshops, cooking discussions, an art exhibition and introducing UWM’s new “green” bookclub, students, staff, and faculty engaged their taste buds and minds together and provoked a little food for thought.
The headliner of Food for Thought was An Evening with Michael Pollan.
