This past week my poultry processing class visitied the Tyson chicken processing plant in Carthage, MS.  The trip was quite an experience to say the least.  The plant was very large and employed 1,800 workers.  The plant had several sections and areas designated for certain tasks.  We saw every step from live birds to finished product on a large scale production rate. 

As we dig deeper into potatoes and other starches it is becoming more apparent the role these foods play in our diet.  They are filler. They help you leave every meal full and satisfied.  They can be cooked a variety of ways and can be very simple to very complex.

Potatoes, grains, and pastas are an intricate part of every meal.  They are delicious, cheap and filling.  They are several forms and ways to prepare each of these starches.  As my class studies deeper into this subject i will post more about it.  As of right now we have a midterm coming up on Wednesday that is taking priority over other matters at hand.
