The class began discussing the prompt that ended the previous class:
Finally the class took note of the following:
Junk food is made primarily from corn.
The government subsidizes the production of corn.
Therefore the government uses tax dollars to make junk food cheap.
Students ended class writing about their reactions to these facts: should this be the case?; should the government be involved in our eating choices at all?; is there a positive side to this set of facts?
Next the class viewed a brief video on "chicken nuggets".
The class spent some time reading and analyzing the graph on page 12 of Bittman's Food Matters "Past and projected Food Consumption of Livestock Products.
Mr. Zartler announced a vocabulary quiz for Tuesday; it will cover the following words society, communal, hearth, prixe fixe, offal, omnivore, carnivore, herbivore, lacto-, ovo-, pesce-, cereal, savory, "salty, sour, bitter, sweet, ummami," rhetorical, and livestock.
Proficiency is 80% knowledge of these words.
Students then read and took notes on the first half of the "Rethinking Consumption" chapter.
