Get used to Prezi...

So what'd you find?

Last Wednesday we watched The Persuaders and discussed the various ways the media sends and manipulates the messages we get. So, for "homework" you were asked to pay attention to the media and take note of how the "green movement" is being represented. So, what'd you find? (Don't be afraid to do some web browsing now.)

HW: Food (for) Thought Questions

Post at least two discussion/thought questions here. These questions can relate to anything pertaining to food, Snowville Creamery, our readings, Food Inc., local food, whatever. Remember, your questions should be open-ended (no right answer necessarily) and should evoke discussion. They should not ask for clarification, or have a 'yes/no' answer.

Here's an example of a bad question: "What can I get at the Farmer's Market?" or "Where is Snowville Creamery anyway?"

Here's a good question (which was raised in class tonight): "Are corporations like Stonyfield or Kashi (i.e Kellogs) doing good or bad by becoming large corporations? Are they joining the problem or fighting against it?"

You may feel the need to give context or extra information along with your questions, and that's totally fine.

And remember: extra credit for any *good* questions asked during Warren's visit. (In other words, "Can you repeat that?" doesn't count.)
