It’s no secret that drinking milk after infancy is pretty bad for humans, harming the bones, the heart, and the skin—not to mention the animals from whose teats it’s sucked by industrial machines. We can all take comfort in the knowledge that there is no dearth of non-dairy milk options, in Usdan and elsewhere. Here […]
Why write about food? Does food matter? Intrigued by these questions, I decided to end my semester as Food Editor with an investigation of what food means to Wesleyan students.
