Response to classmates' last meal posts

After reading the descriptions of the class members’ last meals, it’s evident that there are some common underlying themes in the way that we all eat and regard food. First and foremost, I think something we can all identify with is a hatred of Sodexo. But more importantly, it seems that most members of the class value not only the food that they are eating, but the company they are eating it with. Most posts that talked about more positive meal experiences had to do with the fact that they were eating with friends or family, and many discussed the atmosphere in which they were eating to be a factor, too. It appears that to most of us, the people and place in which we eat is just as important, if not more so, than what we’re actually eating.
