From the very beginning of the semester, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I really didn’t. But as time was passing, after I took on the challenge that was this class, I slowly began to realize that the rhetoric of food was more than just something you eat. It’s about having an emotional bond, a connection with food that’s so compelling it can bring out emotions and appeal to audiences. It’s being able to talk about it with others. I learned about this through the projects of my fellow peers, through the discussions I had with them, learning more about what their interests were in regards of food and listening to what kind of texts they’ve encountered in the past that deals with food. I was encouraged by several of them to seek out what I was passionate in doing when it comes to food. When it came to my recipe, it was something that I had cooked before and I had a special connection with, therefore I was able to communicate my piece as a text with ease. My original composition was something I grew passionate about and communicating my interests in respect to food as well as eating healthy was something I found to be second nature. It was because I grew an emotional connection to each project that I became aware of such a bond with my experience of food, that I had the desire to share it with others in the best way I knew how. The Rhetoric of Food is a relationship, it’s an experience that the author has with the text. It’s how one expresses themselves to their audience through of others and themselves.
