1) Write a profile of yourself based on the contents of your refrigerator or your food shelf. What do the items in it reveal about you? What don't they reveal? Do you think people would get an accurate idea of you based on it?
I believe the items in my refrigerator reveal a significant amount about me. I have many fruits, apples, pineapple, strawberries, and many more. When I was a child almost all i ate was fruit and junk food. I wouldn't eat any of the meals my mom cooked me or most foods at restaurants. I didn't even like pizza. I probably ate atleast three apples a day, and a bunch of junk and candy. The two places I have always wanted to work is a candy store and a produce stand. Coincidentally, or not so much, I have worked at a Farmers Market for five years now. Much of the food in my refrigerator comes from there. I think this reveals that I am to an extent, a healthy and pure person. I don't like too many chemicals in my food, but at the same time I will eat almost anything. I try to keep my body healthy but I am not one of those people who stresses about what they eat. I am not picky anymore like I was when I was younger. My refrigerator and pantry includes lasagna, macaroni and cheese, hot pockets, icecream, chocolate, warheads...etc. Perhaps this shows that I am not afraid to let free and shove my face occasionally. Personality wise, I think it shows that I am relaxed and chill. I believe the healthy foods show I am structured and care about myself, and the more comfort/luxury foods show that I am able to let free and have fun. Now because I live on campus, my refrigerator isn't necessarily big and doesn't contain many of the foods in which I eat. For example, I eat a fair amount of meat products, and since college I have also gotten into eating more salads. I am a very athletic person in my opinion, so the protein and vegetables might reveal that I am fit and need that type of food for energy. Although salad is a necessary food for everyone, I believe it is somewhat associated with girls as a more feminine food. On the other hand, meats are strongly associated with being a man. Because I eat a fair amount of both foods, I think it shows the two different sides of me. I love dressing up and looking "cute" but at the same time I enjoy playing sports and being "one of the guys." A lot of times I just hang out with a bunch of guys throw a football around or make sexist jokes and laugh at them. So maybe the foods I eat (not necessarily in my refrigerator because I live in a dorm and can't cook here) show a lot about my personality. I think people could get a pretty good idea about me by looking at my pantry and fridge.

I enjoyed reading your post a great deal. You've done a wonderful job of setting out the contents of your fridge and thinking about what they say about you. It must be fun working at the farmer's market and dealing with fresh produce, although I'm sure it's very demanding as well. I used to shop a lot at them when I lived back in South Africa, but I've become lazy since moving here. Perhaps I should start visiting it again.
