blog#25 "my final project (food)

my experince going to the food market was very nice. There was alot of friendly people especially the vendors. They educate u on how the food is process and as well on how the animinals are breed. As i walk around the market place i have seen lots of things such as fresh fish, fruit,vegetables, and meats. Further more there is no compareison to this experince to a regular supermarket, in the food market there are no preservites or grown harmones in  them. the food in it self are made right by the farmers being treated right during there breeding .

lastly i have love the things that i have seen here and i will do more food shoping here more often. this i can say is the heathier way to do it.

this is how a real turkey burger should look like .even thou this was kinda a pricey dish it was well worth it . i had fun makeing a well done turkey burger. ummm umm good. 

blog#24 "reflection on the class"

A) The following blogs i thought were the best that i choose were blog #20,14,and 15.  All of these blogs base from the food unit. the food unit was  pretty instresting to me how their were talks about how the food was made and process, as well for were it comes from. Being that i was so enthused by Dr.X lesson on the food unit i have learn so much.  Made a change in my life which i stop poor eating habits. i also believed that these following blogs have been my best, descriptive essay i have ever posted up. made me be aware of what foods i buy in grocery s stores, that to me woke  me up to reality. and being more actively of chosen better food. all thanks DR.X

B) writing online all the time in this class has been a hell of a experience. to me i think it is different, because with regular writing u really have to think about your   writing layout. when it comes to online it  just boil downs to  really typing away and there is automatic spell check etc. yes in some way  writing blogs has improve my writing. as people comment on my blog. making there suggestion on what or how i can make my essay better.  this was like kinda a online tutor in a way which was pretty helpful. as far as the online work it was both all the time individual and group work. which was good too because u would experience both side and learn from it too. further more i did not do so much reading other people blogs, besides only looking at others for a model to look on how to start out my essay. lastly,  yes  i did at all time get the  impression that other people would be looking at me blogs. which i think is cool because that mean they admire my work.

C) The types of lesson i would take with me is everything from annotating to summary ect. i would only link to this are my expercene in my life if i could ever relate to the text or passage.  To be honest i feel 50/50 with having the believe of walking out of this class with the skills that were tough to me this semester. still feel a bit unorganized with it come to putting my essay together. sometime i feel it out of place. the most memorable  assignment were the food network. it blew my mind. and i love learning stuff like that. i would tell the student to go for it what do they have to lose. and that this class was the best fun class i ever had this semester. and i highly recommend that they should go because Dr.X is really good.

blog#22 "story and stuff"

Topic1 -> Annie Leonard: "According to those exploiting the planets resources to make stuff, the people living in the countries with the resources do not have value because they don't own the resources even if they've been living there for generations, they don't own the means of production, and they're not buying a lot of stuff."

The government is responsible for this cause, by allowing the corporation taking over for mass production of making a profit off from the consumers.
 The corporation make  benefit because they are making a profit each time  the people keep buying the products.
The ones who suffer from this process are the animals and the people who live in the environment that is also effect as well because of the harmful chemical waste that is polluted into the air and waters in our planet.
No it is not right for this planet to be used this way. the government should wake up and released that they are doing more harm then good.

One experience i had related to this is when i was over one of my friend house in Pennsylvania. my friend jeff and his family had planted  a potato farm and have been growing potato for year. then one day just before i lifted to new york a great example of not having value was the government had took over there land and had to force them to move out else where because they did not own that land.

post#21 part 2 "the new industrial migrants"

 In this article part 2 of "industrial migrants" by Eric Scholosser, talks about the aspects of meatpacking. IBP a meat packing company came up with a idea to  put out recruiting team in poor communities threw out the U.S.  to keep a flow of people to work for there company. These were states such as new york, new jersey,california, north carolina and rhode island,had these centers  as well provided shelter for  there workers and bus import them to there jobs and back. they also supported the efforts to enforce the law that INS  did,  is not  to hire undocumented workers who are not authorized to work in the U.S.  One problem had develop when  they realized that the poor workers had no health insurance that drove up local medical costs. also in Minneapolis, Minnesota a company there  promise to provide housing for steady workers but had back fired with the offer that GFI america would pay $17 for each worker and donate hamburgers but did not work. The majority  of new recruits wanted rental apartments  but refused to stay in shelters. this cause made the workers feel tricked and misled. 

  Further more the company IBP slaughter house, INS, and GFI  i'm proud of. because of the efforts they are trying to make for the better working conditions they are making for there employee. despite the mix emotions of how the workers feel of being misled and tricked. at lease these people get to sleep in a shelter and have a transport bus to take them to work and back home. this to me is a step better then the conditions that the migrate works have lived in the 1980s.

blog #21 part 1>> to "the new industrial migrants"

 This article is about migrants workers by Eric Schlosser,  Scholsser begins to explain how  these mexican immigrants would  travel to  colorado to work at meat-package slaughterhouse getting payed at low poverty wages.  there base pay was 9.25 a hour, they would not start getting health insurance until at lease  being on the job for at lease six months and have to  be at lease a year  in order to get vacation pay.  they also lived in  poor condition place such as battered old trailers, motel and sleeping on mattresses that cover the floor. also that these worker did not know how to speak  or read english.  that was a advantage to the company to be able to have turn overs and be able to save money keeping the cost of health insurance low, by layoff or firing the workers and hire some more  to replace them.

      what is happening to these migrant worker from mexico is really unfair. the name speak for  it self "slaughter house", those are signs of dealing with heavy machinery that have sharp blades to cut the meat. i  also disagree about the waiting period for 6 months for there health insurance. anything can happen in there first day. a lot of accidence could happen too.  so i really feel bad for those that had to go threw this in the 1980s. hopefully now at this modern age of the 20th century things are better  in which the policy have change. for a better healthier working conditions.

blog #20 "reflection on food unit"

In the food unit i found it really interesting, i have learn how process food is made and what harm it can do to our bodies. there are chemicals put into our foods such as grown hormones, and antibiotics to help fatten and make the animals  bigger. This is how the modern factory s make there foods.  learning the out come of how this food was made was pretty scary. the front side of it thou is that there are other healthier option and that is  buying food from family farms.  after watching the films  supersize me and the meatrix it had made me spreads the word to my friends and tell them this is what i have learned were our food comes from. so i  made  them  aware of it as well.  I thank  u Dr.x,  for teaching this topic from the food unit it was really good. now i have a change of diet, making better choices to being a healthy person. This experience connects to the the regular meatrix.  how neo was given a chose to either take the red pill or the blue pill to seek the truth of realty. neo had chosen the red pill  wanted to know the truth  of realty. so neo had a group of people show him and he now know that what is real and what is fake.
                                Just like perfect example.  for a long time i really did not know were fast food really came from. i thought that all food come from one place. but once Dr.x had shown a lesson on  were the food come from i now know that process food is bad for u and organic foods is a better natural choice. in some way for the allegory of the cave and the truman show is a connection due to the fact  for  example "the cave" how the people in the cave have been accustom to living in the dark and not know what it was like out side of the cave. until they  one of them were free and saw and learned that there was a hole life out there totally different from the in side cave.                                                                              Same for  Truman, he was raise in to a so called perfect world. were as everybody has a job family and friendly life . when later soon found out that he has been living in a lie a fake world. Truman wanted to go out and discovered that there is a real and better world out there, then the one he live in.
 
          As  far as  cat #3 i thought i did great, formulating my ideas together. by  putting in my personal examples, a claim , also  reference back from the reading and giving out a strong conclusion. out of all the cat's this was the easy one for me.  because from previous lesson  of what i had learned about fast food and what harm they can do  human body. i was a really upset with the grade i had received from Dr.x for this cat. i felt this  was one of my best writing out of all the cats. well aside from all that i will just keep on practicing until i get it right.
