Social Soup Series #1


This slideshow story is of the first Social Soup series,  “Body & Mind: Healthy Eating for the New School Year,” September 4, 2012, at the University of Utah.  There will be two more Social Soup events this semester on October 17 (Real Food for Food Day) and November 13 (The Food Stamp Challenge). The first one was in the Library on the first floor by the cafe and many students attended. The purpose of the lecture series is to discuss economical, social, and environmental issues on food. There was a lot of talk about eatting more healthy on a budget and what types of foods are the best for your health that will support optimal brain functioning and stress management. There was some talk about the food options at the school cafeteria in the student union. There was also some radish plants that were brought in free from the school's garden to eat.
