HW 11 - Final Food Project 1

For your last experience in the food unit, please select one of the following modalities;

A. Experiential (change diet, change shopping, change how you prepare food, how you eat). Note, if you select a change in how you do food that includes your family or would be weird to your family, please get parental/guardian consent and support!

B. Academic (research a particular aspect of what we've learned, double check key claims from Pollan & Schlosser, research related material)

C. Activist (do something to build a movement for better food - consider the Food, Inc website, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, the Slow Food Movement, and the School Food issue)

Then write about what you did and learned in 4-5 paragraphs. Explore especially what you did, how it is connected to what we've been working on, what you learned from doing it (including what would help you do it more effectively next time), and why it matters (to you and/or others).

Due Sunday, Oct. 31 at noon.
