A Dynamic Duo of Me and I.: Research Package and Proposal

--EDIT--

New Proposal:

Over the course of the semester, I will closely examine how food/food (products) can define the possibilities of comfort and uncomfortable. For example, using the words listed from the 40 similiar words excercise and metaphors will help further define this concept. A synonym for 'comfort' is 'snug.' The metaphor chosen for 'snug' was a food item 'pigs in a blanket.' Another example is 'warmth.' A hen keeps her eggs warm, which we consume to be "full" a comfortable feeling.

This topic have interested me from the beginning. It began as a discovery of what defines comfort and the uncomfortable and has evolved into how food defines comfort. I personally find most of my comfort in food and it brings me much pleasure. Exploring all the different possibilites gives me a chance to understand an addiction to food and how that can be interpretated. Maybe it will also give me new foods to sample as part of research
