Dillon Kadimi's Research Notes/Reflection 

• Brothers are not restricted to a "one option" eating lifestyle

• Other options include meal plans and eating out in lieu of house foods

• The city of Berkeley is not representative of authentic ethnic foods  

• Most brothers in the house are not aware or educated about nutritional standards provided by the government

• School funds and financial aid programs allow some of the brothers to tackle the affordability issue of expensive foods

• Cooking at the house is done individually by each brother 

• Some brothers are more or less conscious of their food choices 

• When budgeting themselves, the brothers are able to rationalize what they have been spending on unhealthy foods, and use that as an incentive to purchase healthier options
• Brothers who have lived in the house are subjected to new types of food lifestyles once they have moved out 
• Different environments, such as the cleanliness of the kitchen in the house or variety of foods, and even their daily financial budgets are very impactful when deciding what foods to purchase
• Some brothers would rather eat a non-nutritional meal and opt-out of a more nutritional one, if it meant the cost of the meal would be less expensive.
