Final Food Assignment Including More Resources

Please choose one or more of the following resources and consider its connection for industrial food. If you are time limited the Dana White song is the quickest and funniest.

A Mother's Tale by James Agee - novella
Cows with Guns by Dana White - music video
The Worst Mistake In the History of the Human Race - by Jared Diamond
Iron Filings in your Cereal - Click "Watch the video" for a pretty surprising demonstration
Industrial Food In Japan 2.0 - They take "Our Daily Bread" a few steps further towards disconnection from the Earth.
Foraging For Fruit in Cities - A rare moment of something nice for a curveball.

Now connect this new resource to the videos you've seen online, "Our Daily Bread, "VROOM - Farming for Kids", the essays we've read, our experiences with food (recipe, sprouting, food journal, etc), and Omnivore's Dilemma.

Make one 700+ word paper on Industrial Food & Your Own Foodways that reworks some of your previous assignments, and your additional and evolving thoughts. To make it particularly good, use outlines or concept maps, write a draft, edit it, post it, get feedback from an ally, and repost a second draft. Due Wednesday at 3:10pm.
