Food Issues of Contemporary Society

This is the online forum of "Food Issues," a tool that we hope will stimulate class discussion and house our small intellectual community. It will be only as fruitful as we make it...so post with abandon.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!!!


Below is a link to The Nation's website. Again, the September 11th issue is dedicated to America's Food "Problems," truly a fascinating read. This link will take you to a section of the articles in the issue in which authors, food critics, etc. all address the issues in their own respects. I thoroughly enjoyed everything they had to say. Hopefully you will as well!

Some of the authors include: Eric Schlosser, Marion Nestle, Michael Pollan, Wendell Berry, Troy Duster, Elizabeth Ransom, Winona LaDuke, Peter Singer, Dr. Vandana Shiva, Carlo Petrini, Eliot Coleman & Jim Hightower...and more!!!


why it's important to PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU EAT!!!


Enjoy!

Also, if the link doesn't work...you can easily search www.thenation.com for the pages. Again, Be sure to buy a copy of the issue while it's still on stands!

    Thank you for the links Dan! I got a copy over the weekend and haven't had a chance to get into the articles in depth, but will by the time we get to the course on media. This issue of The Nation will be an interesting case study.
    The fact that these articles appear in The Nation, not in Forbes, for example, is important to keep in mind when reading them. Always pay attention to the medium and its editorial preferences. Also look at the person who functions as guest editor, if applicable, such as Alice Waters here. Think of how these issues might have been treated differently by others, in other publications, or of which issues might be missing.
