HW 3 - Food - Fast Food Insights and Green Market Realizations

Please publish 2-4 paragraphs of insights, interesting questions, and perceptive observations from our visits to the Union Square Greenmarket and a fast food restaurant.

You could focus on one or two of the following topics or identify a related topic of your own:
1. Differences and similarities between the two locations.
2. Some reasons fast food is so successful.
3. How is fast food responding to the sort of health-consciousness that the Greenmarket represents, and what do you think about it?
4. How did various people you met today approach food - what's their orientation to food? Is food a commodity or sacred or both?
5. Which of the two locations do you normally visit and why? What do you think about that?

Again, I recommend that you write multiple drafts to figure out deeper levels of insight and to clarify and beautify your writing.

Due Friday, Sept 24 @ 8:30am.
