In addition to their personality traits, those born in the Year of the Goat also have certain food preferences and dietary habits that reflect their zodiac sign.

In my journey as a student at UCLA, I have never stumbled across a class as interesting as this one. I was glad to take it this quarter – it was like a breath of fresh air compared to the other classes I was taking this quarter. I learned a great deal about the different characteristics of each zodiac animal, as well as the different foods associated with each animal. 

My name is Cami Chou and I am a second year born in the year of the sheep. I took this class due my passion for food, both eating and making, as it is something that both brings me joy and allows me to explore cultures and cuisines. This class has allowed me to further my exploration of food and how different people’s identities can affect their cooking and foods they eat and create.

As a student in a university class about Zodiac animals and food, I had the opportunity to explore the fascinating connections between Chinese astrology and culinary traditions. The class was taught by a DESMA professor who works alongside a neuroscientist. They combined their expertise to create an engaging and interdisciplinary course.

Some friends of mine wanted me to take this class with them, and since it worked with my schedule, I didn't see a reason not to.

But once I attended the first class, I was taken aback by the content and found myself blown away by the study for a deeper connection to our food, and specifically the emphasis on zodiac signs.

Hi, my name is Lara and this is my first blog post! I am a cognitive science major and I decided to take this class because I love food and I am also interested in the zodiac. I was born in 2003 which makes me the year of the sheep.
