Welcome! This is the blog for LFS 350 Group 2 (West Point Grey Legion). Here is a little bit of info about our group and what we hope to get out of this course/our process to date:
Ai Xin (Alice) Wang 3rd year Nutritional Science. I am interested in helping incorporate nutrition into people’s everyday food. I hope to advocate and spread the importance of a healthy lifestyle to more people. In my spare time I enjoy cooking and gardening. I want to get more hands on experience from LFS 350 and get a better sense of people’s nutritional knowledge. This will make the concepts I’ve learned in class more tangible. I look forward to gaining new experiences from LFS 350.
Kaitlyn Samson 4th year Nutritional Science. Currently, my interests lie in bouldering, reading, cooking, and international nutrition. One goal for the end of the semester is to have our work and ideas go towards something meaningful for the community. Since we have the rare opportunity to give back to the community through our coursework, it will be nice to gain tangible experiences that can be applied to projects later in life.
Kathy Zhang 3rd year Food and Nutritional Science Double Major. My interest is closely related to my major, which is pastry art. I love to see all different reactions taking place while mixing, beating, and baking. The reasons why I chose this project is to see how my learning in school can actually apply to the community that I lived in. I hope that by the end of the class I can gain some hands-on experience and be able to apply it in real life.
Maggie Li 3rd year General Food, Nutrition and Health. I am interested in nutrition, which I would like to continue working in after graduation. I have begun learning how to cook this semester and I hope I will love the culinary arts. I am also a sports lover who swims, dances, and bikes in my spare time.
Tina Hung 3rd year General Food, Nutrition and Health. I love learning new information about nutrition that ties in closely with our everyday life. In my spare time, I enjoy taking long walks and cooking. I believe that this opportunity will provide me an excellent chance to learn more about the community that I am involved in, and give me a chance to gain hands on experience in helping the community with the knowledge I have now.
Yuqi Duan 3rd year Food and Nutritional Science Double Major. I am interested in the processing of food and how food relates to human health. I really enjoying cooking in my spare time. I think LFS 350 will provide me with a great opportunity to get involved in the community and discover different food systems. I hope to learn more about how foods interact with people in communities.
Zaixin Li 3rd year Food and Nutritional Science Double Major. I am interested in nutrition that contributes to naturopathy. LFS 350 provides a good opportunity for us to get involved in our community. I hope I will develop my observational and interviewing skills by the end of this term, so that I can apply these experiences in my future studies.
Our group (L to R): Yuqi, Alice, Kaitlyn, Tina, Maggie, Kathy, and Clara
