  • We North Americans Are Walking Corn Chips Essay

    1046 Words  | 5 Pages

    When one thinks of the basis of American society, many imagine the working class, free market or even slave trade. But what most Americans do not understand about American society can be summarized by a quote from Michael Pollan: “We North Americans are walking corn chips”. Pollan was able to make this all-encompassing statement about America’s relationship with corn since corn’s high versatility as a crop has helped it become a major part of daily life without the vast majority of the populace being any wiser about it. However, with this major reliance on corn comes a massive amount of pressure placed on farmers, tying their hands in an almost impossible way as the need for corn grows exponentially with the growth of population and industries. Recognizing this issue is vital to

    If neither education nor profession is a leading factor, what is? The predominate factor that leads to believing a rumor is whether or not it feeds the needs of the particular audience. “Rumors and conspiracy theories,” Rodriguez explains, “often supply simplified, easily digestible explanations (and enemies) to sum up complex situations” (Rodriguez 221). Understanding that the needs and insecurities of people are the predominate factors that encourage people to believe rumors; it becomes obvious why rumors thrive when they cater to people’s needs, often providing a simplified explanation to a current situation. Similarly, Nicholas DiFonzo explains that “rumors also tend to arise in situations that pose a threat or potential threat—possibly to one’s welfare or even survival.

  • Monsanto's Harvest Of Fear Summary

    845 Words  | 4 Pages

    The three essays assigned this week had several common threads running through them. The strongest core theme is the rapid change in the food cycle in America and the vast changes that have taken place in the way by which we grow, produce, and process the food that average Americans eat. The food we eat now is drastically different from what our grandparents grew up eating and the three essays each examine that in a different way. Another theme is the loss of knowledge by the average consumer about where their food comes from, what it is composed of, and what, if any, danger it might pose to them. “Monsanto’s Harvest of Fear” by Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele is a harsh look at the realities of food production in a country where large corporations, like Monsanto, have been allowed to exploit laws and loopholes to bend farmers and consumers to their

JB MacKinnon’s article “False Idyll” (2012), reveals that nature is not just flowers in a field but can also be the survival of the fittest. He backs up his claim by talking about nature through anecdotes and expert’s research.

  • A Rhetorical Analysis Of GMO OMG By Jeremy Seifert

    A powerful example of pathos is exhibited in the scene in which Seifert takes his sons to a cornfield to run and play among the rows and rows of vegetation like he had when he was a child. Viewers are swept into the nostalgia of older and simpler times only to become horrified to see Seifert take out gas masks, body suits, and duct tape and begin covering his kids from head to toe. Dressed in apparel fit for a nuclear or radiation site, Seifert and the boys run through the genetically modified field, protected from the pesticide and herbicide the plants are saturated in. This scene sends a striking message of the threat GMO’s pose to the memory of natural farming and food

  • DBQ Essay: The Green Revolution

    620 Words  | 3 Pages

    The graph in document 1, a food/population report by the UN, shows a direct relationship between a growing population and the amount of food supply. This rapid increase is made possible by Norman Borlaug's genetically modified crops that made more food on less land and were able to fight off plant diseases. Document 2, a speech given by a president Truman to the struggling citizens, says that many people in a food crisis are in misery and would do anything to escape it. This is fuel for the Green Revolution and its colossal effects on human’s food supply. Document 7 contradicts this thesis because it states that the people who experienced its effects thought it was a contamination to their culture and natural way of life.

  • FSA Propaganda

    Many believed the Dust Bowl and floods of the Great Depression were natural disasters and framed destruction of the Great Plains as the result of weather, not human-created tragedies, even though scientific evidence proved otherwise. However, when the news and government framed stories a consequence of weather conditions they failed to communicate the balance of nature was overturned thanks to the unbridled settling of the land that caused ecological disaster. Although FSA photos and conservation photos of that era documented loss of open places and spaces, Lorentz reminds us that in America’s quest for domination over the land, almost forgotten how much we rely on nature for survival. The news presented only part of the story, devastation. Largely missing from reporting why ecological disaster came about, the connection between water and soil, and how unrestrained use and poor planning led to disaster.

    As Patel himself states, we need to get inside the hourglass and make the food system work for all of us, as farmers, producers, distributers, and consumers as a whole. Regardless of the confusion a first time reader may run across, this book does one thing undoubtedly right: it makes you think long and hard about everything you thought you knew about food. It goes far past GMOs and RoundUp, way beyond HFCS and the overproduction of soybeans, over and above those who are stuffed and those who are starved. Throughout the span of the novel, Patel not only helps you realize that there are many issues in our food economy, but also makes you feel how vital it is to take back what we did not even realize had long been

    More than 510 testimonies and sights of aliens have been coming to light for ages.
