Kenneth Tappan- Babett's Feast

In the segment of the movie Babett's feast that we watched in class it was obvious to see that humans do not always have a connection to what we eat. In the scene in the movie the older ladies and men were at first scared to eat such foriegn foods but as they savored the flavor of each dish they grew closer to one another. People sharing food together can be a special event it brings people together and puts everyone on the same level. When I watched this movie it made me realize that i do not usually have a connection to what i eat. I do not kill the animal that i eat and i do not grow my veggies either. I believe this has made me more alienated from nature in this respect. I believe it is important to be conscience of what you are eating and knowing where it came from. If we do this it would bring us closer to our roots and to our environment.
