oximoron?

we talked about industrial organic farms. my group even stated that we need a new term other than organ because we see that it does not meet our standards. i tried to play devil's advocate in defending the big monster that everyone saw as the food industry. stating that all the chemicals that they imply into our foods is necessary because the high demands of our foods have changed. i understand that a organic farm dosnt have to be a small feild were everything is grown "right". but if we mangaged to be able to mass produce healthy and high quality foods would we rlly achieve a industrail organic farm?

there presentation

this blog entry is a recap and my point of view of group 1's presentation. there presentation was a hard one to swallow no pun intended, showing the inhuman tretments that animals go through before being killed. they had us go into our group and talk about what we saw. one clip in particular to the others they showed stood out to me. it was wen a chicken was defethered and boiled alive after which they left it writh in pain. i was able to withstand everyother scene besides this one because of the pure agony i could vividly imagine the chicken went through ater such abuse.

poptart?

what is a POPtart. can we grow one? is it in animals? the answer for both of these question is vague as my group discussed. poptarts are mad from various highly processed foods that is generally not vary good for us. one of our groupmates even went as far to say its an abomination of nature along with the twinky. but in my opinion its an abomination which we choose to stay. it comsumers had a choice to choose between growing poptarts or veges, i wouldnt be surpirsed to see poptart as the next cashcrop. poptarts are a perfect example of how everything is over processed to the point that americans wouldnt know or care what it rlly was.

the discussion

cows are being turned into machines, our group came to a conclusion after our last last class. using about 35 gallons of oil per cow and stuffed with anti bodies and fed foods unnatural to there normal habits. how much is really cow and how much is a machine. may sound like a supernatural movie,but what the cooperation is doing is just as horrific. it seems that peoples demands for more and quickly produced food is reflecting negatively opoun the industries and America's health. But what can we do about it if the people's high need for food is growing?

Breakfast

during breakfast a meal i rarely eat i felt that i was over eating in a way and that the items they surved wernt as good (health wise) as lunch and dinner. there arnt salads or other healthy meal. all breakfast hAs to offers i eggs cheese bacon pancakes other highly fattening foods and i think to myslef how is this the most important meal of the day if anything its the worst, the only real benifit that breakfest has is the time slot inwhich it is alotted

the natrual high

while i was writing the paper i realized that eating is a natural high that we desperately try to recreate about on an average of 3 times a day. i remeber having a meal that really hit the spot and i constantly go back to eating to try to make myself feel that satisifed again but saidly i couldnt. i just think that theres more to eating than the social and the phyiscal benifites there deffinatly a mental benifet that applies to it as ppl eat to forget or even to feel better so comparing food to alchol isnt that drastic of an comparison.

doritos

so at the begginig of the semester my freinds and i head to wall mart seems like the locical thing to do after comparing ur nessesities with your roommates and realizign that u lack well nessisary iteams. after procuring deoderant soad a razor we head to the food section were i instantly grab a bag of doritos. days later i start my college diet nothing but some good meat and salads all is well ppl say im slimmer until yesterday night were bordom took the best of me after watching half of season 2 of dexter i decide to open the bag. the bag has been my undo button if u will to rereturn to the old me before the diet and i i did. i enjoyed myself for sometime but i feel the results after my body did not respond well with the junk, stomach bloated aching. i vowed never to succum to temtation of DORITOS

its a Saudi Arabian

dinner, i think i could eat this its actually looks really good better than the stuff i eat here and looks like there having a better time at it too

i also found a book called Saudi Arabia: its people, its society, its culture. by a George lipsky. its interesting to see how a nation we view exteremely negatively can have such a jubulent feast. rlly makes us take a step back and think about our seleves a little deeper. also makes me rlly hungry
