See, I told you it was a real course of study.

At that pivotal moment in life when you have to decide what do facing the pressures of finances, relationships, and personal happiness, I just eat. But seriously, I have been googling every job title I would like to do or I wish existed. Wanting to eventually go back to school, I stumbled upon this silver lining amidst a bunch of dark grey clouds. The Washington Post, a major publication mind you, ran a story last August about the new rise of food within academia. That's right, I told you all gastronomy was a real thing to major in.

Some of the schools starting programs- UNH, Yale, UC Davis, and UC Santa Cruz. While NYU and Boston University have had programs for years.
A lot of other schools are offering classes incorporating food, an even brighter sign. Food - we all do it and most of us enjoy it, and we actually need it to survive- so shouldn't we learn about it?
