8/9 Wellness Field Trip – IV Food Co-op

Wellness Field Trip – IV Food Co-op organic vs. non-organic tasting meets.

On Friday, August 9th, I went on the field trip with the Wellness staffs to Isla Vista Food Co-op. Again, many students, including me, went to the field trip because there were FREE FOODS. We followed a person from the Wellness center to the Food Co-op. It was about a 15 minute walk. On the way to the Food Co-op, I had also made many new friends. One of them even becomes my best friend now. For that reason, I am already glad that I did attend the field trip. After we arrived at the store, we met the owner. She seemed to be very excited to see us. She told us about the history of the store and the reason why she came back to Isla Vista to run this business. I could tell that she really loves her job.



After her introduction about the store, she provided many organic food and non-organic food for us to taste. I had learned the difference between organic food and non-organic food. I was surprised that the organic foods taste so much more delicious than non-organic or processed foods. Organic foods are much more juicy and refreshing. Besides organic fruit, chocolate, and chips, my favorite one was the organic guacamole dip. I had tried guacamole before, but I never really enjoyed eating them. However, the organic guacamole dip at the Food Co-op tasting was very delicious and refreshing. I fell in love with guacamole dip immediately.
