When I saw the posting for rose café, I was interested in the fact that the topic touched on two area: Martha Van Ressler (Human Ecology) and Flora rose house. It was interesting to the fact that  I got to gain knowledge about my home college and my residency.I was surprised to know how Flora Rose specialized in food science and helped the USA during a time of war and the great depression. She focused on creating foods that are high in nutrition yet cost efficient, aiding many to be knowledgeable about nutrition.I noticed that America place great value of nutrition on sugar, carb, and fat in the result of great depression and still does too in modern time. Unlike many other countries, which focus a lot on spice and flavor, American diet has a lot to do with fatty richness. I remember having a hard time getting used to American food when I moved here, because of lack of spice and diverse flavors. It is interesting to see how long history has influenced so much of modern diet.
