I ate cheese quesadillas last night and recalled the lesson when we discussed corn and tortillas.  I reflected how the U.S. took control of corn exports and contributed to Mexico's poor economy as I took each bite. This class has definitely made me think about what I eat and its cultural importance, whether small or large.

On a side note, the package for the tortillas read "Burrito Tortillas" which interested me because I thought a tortilla was like a default.

  1. Thats an interesting point you made on the "Burrito Tortilla" labeling. Maybe it has something to do with the size and shape?
