N220 Virtual Exchange

​      The global learning virtual exchange project was a very cool project to be apart of. We got the chance to combine our class with another class from the UK. We discussed our differences and similarities in our nutrition. We got to listen to a guest speaker from the US and one from the UK as well and both speakers talked about the different nutritional levels in each place. We eventually got broken into smaller groups with 2-3 students from IUPUI and 2-3 students from the UK. I got a chance to FaceTime with a group of girls and we discussed how we choose what we eat and why we eat what we eat.

​      From the virtual exchange project I learned that even though we are from different parts of the world, we really eat very similarly. My main takeaway from speaking to my partners from the United Kingdom was that really we are not that different from each other. Of course there is gonna be slight differences in our health dietary guidelines. In the end though, what we eat and why we choose to eat what we eat are pretty much the same reasons, but to me that is what I would expect, we are all young college students who have similar access to our food.
