The New Industrial Migrants (Part 1 and Part 2)

         In  the New Industrial Migrants, it discuss people who are immigrants that have to travel to a different location to obtain a jobs because they do not speak any English. most of these immigrants are Mexican, who lives in old trailer or motel  that have rusty mattress and also share rooms. these worker work several hour a day and only get poverty wage. they do not receive vacation or insurance if something must to happen to them on the job.these workers or working like slaves.

                  IBP a business insurance that is trying to turnover the way things are for the immigrants so that they can have a better life, and be able to take care of their families.  
 these companies had recruited homeless people, to work in there factories just so that they can stay in business. the real  cost of these meat market factories is to insurance to clean the food that we the people coincidentally eat. but it dose not reinsurance the people who life is at risk by taking on such task in cleaning the meat. and getting such little pay.

In The Article "Let Them Eat Fat" Greg Crister from Harper's Magazine, discusses the issue with, young teenagers eating at McDonald due to the cheaper meal and super sizes. he also discuss how fast-food companies have grown more aggressive to their target of poor inner city communities and pick on these people because of there low income
i agree with Crister because a lot of kids, after school nowadays will be crowded in one particular fast food restaurant, such as McDonald. the reason being is that they don't eat cafeteria food or that they are aware that there parents are not going to be home to cook them dinner. In addition i feel as though that parents should make more time for there kid, especially when it comes to there eating habit, so that they will be healthy and not constantly eat fast food, every day, also i feel as though the school have a big impact on what kids eat and should provide more healthier and tastier food for the kids.
Also i feel as though fast food should stop super-sizing, there meal, and just keep it at a regular size for the same price. Therefore fast food consumers won't eat as much fast food and there calories will not increase.
In all Crister gave some valuable suggested on how fast food is damaging the body and how we the people should prevent it from continuing and est more healthier

In the Food Unit, it connects with the other unit that we discussed during the course. because it relates to the Brave New World quote "you shall no the truth, and the truth shall make you mad." this quote reflect the decision of bearing the truth that you may or may not want to know, for example for ("The Allegory of the Cave") the cave men didn't want to learn the fact that there was a world beyond, the world that they were living in, by here the truth it mad them expand the real world, unlike with The Truman Show, it basically drew Truman crazy just to find out the truth, about the so call world he was living in.
In my opinion the maker of the Meatrix, used the Matrix as there argument by connecting the food industry and the fake and real world, by describing the food as good food and bad food.




In my opinion the task that i completely finish very well was, my blogs the reason being is that, i am consent update with them, and also i put a lot of effort into them and i try my very hardest to do, the best that i can with it, the challenge that I'm facing is dealing with the CAT, and learning how to structure an essay with the period and pronunciation. also with trying to have supported evidence for my claim/thesis. for my responded from the CAT 3 i think, i need more help dealing with writing an essay and development it so i can get my point across. with that help i think that i can get my point across with being a better writer.

In the article "Happy Meals" Micheal Pollan discusses the ideas of eating better, and suggest ways to do so, some of the things he suggested are helpfully and others i don't know if I'm going be able to do it.

things that are helpfully to me to eat better are avoiding food products that contains ingredients that are unfamiliar to me that are says high-fructose corn syrup on it, they are able to do because they will help me eat better, and most food i eat nowadays are not high syrup or any other type of high fructose, also eating mostly plants and eating less can help me to be more healthier, also by spending less time in the supermarket can help me be eat better cause the supermarket barley have fresh whole food, that does not expire. or rotten.

things that are not do able to eating better is eat anything my great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food, I'm not to sure about that because than i wont be able to enjoy my certain junk food snacks, that i have craving for , also i dont think i will be able to plant a garden in the time that i do have because planting a grarden takes lots of work,

But Overall, i think that Pollen ideas will benefit me in the future on my decision to eat more healthier.

In the "Story of Bottled Water" one of the myth that is mention is that bottled water tastes better than tap water,this is a myth because people can not tell the difference from bottle water to tap, even with the test that they make theirs know difference between bottle water and tap water. and people believe that bottled water test better than tap water because the way that it is advertised and also because they downgrade tap water making it seem as though, its not good for you and that it is not filter and has bacteria roaming threw it, while most all bottled water comes from tap water.and tap water is more secure than bottle water.

By exposing the myth of how bottled water taste better than tap water is by stop buying bottle water and buy having a bottle and putting tap word in it, also the only difference is that were actually paying for bottle water when we can get tap water for free and it is more conveniently.Furthermore we can advertise tap water and show the different of it to bottle water and how its more affective and cheaper.

In the article written by Nicholas Balakar "Imitation Of Film: Here's Smoking at You Kid" he discuss about the fact of R-rated movies with smoking children, and that they tend to pick up smoking at the ages of 10-14 if seen in movies.
I disagree with this statement because kids age 10-14 smoke on there own term, by seeing there parents are friends doing it, it has nothing to do with the actors or actress on movies, because the kids know that the celebrity are regular people and that all there doing is acting and they might not even smoke on a regular basic. for instance kids are pressured everyday to do things that they may not always want to do and with that is why most kids are where there at now, by listening to bad influence. i for one can relate, as a child growing up, i would wanna do what everyone else was doing than rather than be my own self, for example i had got my belly button piercing at age 17 because mostly everyone i knew had it done.from beyonce to regular kids in my neighborhood, so i went and got it done thinking that it will change me and that ill be more like beyonce, but it didn't change i was still the same old person from before i just had something on my navel, the reason i went and got it done is because i basically wanted to fit in with everyone else rather than stand out and be my own person.
Furthermore the author did point out that some kids have been smoking from far before watching R-rated movies, so that must mean that movies star in r-rated movie did not give them the impact on whether to smoke or not, they chose there own destiny to do it.
however as a child while watching r-rated movie that did not give me an impact to do anything because i knew it was fiction. In my opinion R-rated movie does not give kids the okay to smoke or do anything that is false or wrong. it is the kids who do so are the people they are around.

Claim: 76 Million American are suffering from food poisoning each year.

Reason: 325,000 people are hospitalized from food related illnesses, Most food- related is caused by bacteria, virus, parasites that are transmitted in the food that we eat.

Quote: According to the Meatrix website, “Cattle feedlots, both in the U.S. and Europe, made common practice of supplementing cattle feed with discarded animal products, which led to the spread of mad cow disease” Also “the largest recorded outbreak of Hepatitis A was traced back to green onions in Chi-chi salsa. Over 600 people in the Pittsburgh area were sickened in the outbreak.”
