Dignitas: You Gonna Eat That?
Final Paper
Due on or before noon, December 20th.Please bring your paper to my office, Tower 4143. If I am not in, please feel free to leave your paper on my desk (the one next to the window) OR in the mailbox on the wall outside the office door.
You will be evaluated on the following: The thoroughness and thoughtfulness of your essays. I will be looking for insights, demonstrations of critical thinking and successful attempts at making connections with our readings, presentations, viewings and discussions.
Your essays must be grammatically correct, spell-checked and thoroughly proofread. Points will be deducted for poor grammar, misspellings and punctuation errors.
Only questions 1 and 2 will be graded. Question 3 asks for an honest and open reflection on your first semester.
How long? My answer is “However many words it takes to thoughtfully and thoroughly answer the questions.” I am looking for answers to each question that are at least a couple of pages, but not more than four pages.
Questions:
1. Consider “Food Rules.” Which one or two rules do you plan to or already have adopted? Why? Which one would you personally find most difficult to incorporate into your life? Why?
2. What do you think is the most important thing you have learned in our class this semester? How did you learn it? Why do you consider it the most important?
3. Reflect on your overall first semester experiences at St. Scholastica. What have you learned about yourself? What has been your best decision this semester? What decision do you most regret?

Saints Hats!
Hi ya from the UP (Upper Peninsula Michigan for those of you who haven't heard of that before)!
This has nothing to do with food, or our class for that matter. However, I wanted to get the word out that I'm selling some Saint Scholastica winter hats for I believe $24 a piece. This is my ski coach's adorable little guy sporting the hat. They are super warm and would be great additions to your hockey fan gear! Let me know if you want one!! I have plenty for everyone!

Thanksgiving Assignment
There are a lot of New York City Thanksgiving traditions. For example, a lot of New Yorkers don't buy the frozen Thanksgiving turkey. They prefer to buy the bird live and then push it in front of a subway train. - David Letterman
Dignitas: You Gonna Eat That?
Reflection Paper
DUE Thursday, December 2
This assignment asks that you be an anthropologist at the Thanksgiving table. Consider what foods are present on the table. What do they represent? Mean? To whom? Generations? Genders? People who “married in?”
Where did they come from? What do they say about your family? Your culture?
What happens at the table? Who sits next to who? How long does the meal go on? What do people talk about?
As part of this assignment, do at least ONE of the following:
1. Help shop for and/or prepare some of the food—DO IT!
2. Interview older relatives about the dinner and/or the meanings of food in their past and current lives—DO IT!
3. See your grandmother’s favorite cookbook and discuss it with her—DO IT!
As you write this essay, reflect on your reading, our class discussions and presentations and other experiences you’ve had this semester thus far. Seek connections!

Slow and Savoring
"Forget love, I'd rather fall in chocolate." -Anonymous
The assignment for this week is to practice savoring (and write a blog entry about it). Whether it be a favorite food, the outdoors, or your physics homework, the goal is to slow down and relish in the flavor or experience that it brings. This can be a very positive addition to your student life as it is essentially an excuse to relax from the business of school and work. Put your heart into this assignment and really tell a story of your savoring attempt. I guarentee that if you incorporate this into your life on a regular basis, you will learn to appreciate the small things much more!
Have fun!

Botany of Desire
"There is a lot more juice in grapefruit than meets the eye." - Author Unknown
I apologize for my lackadaisical approach to the blog recently. I'm sure you all understand what it is like to be swamped with stuff to do.
Last week we viewed a portion of the documentary about Michael Pollan's book "The Botany of Desire." I found it fascinating the stories about potatoes and how the potato culture is crucial for existence. Whether they are grown for McDonald's restaurants all over the world or simply for survival in indigenous environments in the Andes, potatoes are a necessity.
Here is your question:
Early Peruvians adapted to nature in their attempts to domesticate potatoes. More recently, cultivators have sought to control nature, rather than allowing it to control them. What are the long-term implications for the two approaches to farming? Is one way inherently better than another? How about in the short-term? For the poor? For local communities? For global food systems? Overall?
Have fun!

This Thursday's plan
"Food is an important part of a balanced diet." - Fran Lebowitz
Happy Monday to you all! I wanted to let you know what Julie and I have planned for this weeks class. Due to the questions and concerns that I've received from several of you, we decided that it would be wise to have an in-class work day. We will also be starting advisement (choosing classes for next semester). Please bring your materials for your presentation (research, ideas, questions) and have an grasp on what courses you might want to take (whether your major requires it or not) next semester. After looking at my schedule for the week, I found that my only free night is Wednesday. If you really want to meet with me outside of class to discuss your project let me know. If not, let's just meet in class on Thursday.
Have a magnificent day!

Food Advisory Commitee
To all who want to make a difference ON CAMPUS....go to this meeting! We've had students in the past attend and who have felt heard by the campus "food-planning" authority. This is the message that was in the "student bulletin/announcements."
- The Food Advisory Committee will meet on October 12 from 4-5 p.m. in Tower
2611. Please feel free to attend if you have any suggestions or ideas on
improving food service on campus. Managers from Food Service will be on hand
to answer all your questions.
I think there are monthly meetings so if you can't make this one, I figure out when the next one will be.
"Do you have the balls to change the world?!"
"It's important to begin a search on a full stomach." - Henry Bromel
I hope everyone has had a chance to research a little more about Monsanto and other Food Inc. prompts. I'm sure the movie "rocked your world" in a sense and made you really think about your role in the food industry. Julie sent me this link to a rather interesting article. Read it and be prepared to contribute to discussion. Post what you think you will do to change the food system. Maybe it's your favorite suggestion from this article or maybe you'll be inspired to create your own idea. I'm excited to see what you have to say.
http://www.grist.org/article/food-do-you-have-the-balls-to-really-change-the-food-system/
I sent out an email about details for Thursday's trip to the co-op, but I'll summarize here as well. We will meet at the school bus-stop (between Tower and 3rd floor entrance to Science) at 11:20am on Thursday. We will return on a bus scheduled to arrive at CSS by 1:50pm. If you have class conflicts, let me know! Maybe someone could drive if there are problems with scheduling. See you at Community Day tomorrow! Remember, this is required if you aren't already participating at another location!!!!

Seed to Supermarket Questions
Shocking right? Thought soy was really healthy...maybe not when it's being genetically modified by a multi-national corporation. For this week, find some background information on Monsanto. What does their website look like? What do websites opposing Monsanto look like? Write about what you find.

Who is at fault?
"The only man who is really free is the one who can turn down an invitation to dinner without giving an excuse." - Jules Renard
After viewing the selected chapters of Food Inc. on Thursday, I was struck with a buffet of emotions. How sad is it that a little boy (and many other children) have died after eating a hamburger in a popular chain restaurant! How horrific are the jobs of the workers who handle tainted meat on a daily basis! For this question post (sorry it's coming so late) I want to see some emotion in your responses. What do you truly feel about America's food industry? Show me by answering these questions...
1) Keith Ludlum in the film says, “They have the same mentality toward workers as they do toward the hogs.” What do you think of this statement? If it is true, how might that influence the treatment of both workers and hogs?

2) Whether or not you think illegal immigration (or the influx of undocumented workers) is a problem, how is illegal immigration connected to the food we eat?
Try to touch on both "sets" of questions, but instead of just answering them to answer them, leave a response that might ignite a good discussion for class. We will be going through a few of the responses right away on Thursday.

Recipe from last week's snack!
"Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat." - Socrates
For all of you eager beaver bakers...this is a link to the blog where I found the "Pumpkin Irish Soda Bread" recipe. It's a great fall, comfort bread (and if any of you are really curious/ambitious, you can come over to my place sometime and bake more bread)!
Buen Provecho!

Food, food, food
"It's the company, not the cooking, that makes a meal." - Kirby Larson
From time to time I like to bring in snacks for the class. I was thinking about making something for Thursday, but before I make a giant cake or something I should ask if anyone has FOOD ALLERGIES. Please let me know!!

Corn Challenge
"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." - J.R.R. Tolkien
Instead of posting questions this week I'm going to make the executive decision that you attempt the corn challenge for at least one meal before class and then blog about it. The frustration is clear that you are all feeling! However, I think that this challenge gets easier with practice and a little guidance. I've only eaten in the GDR once this year, but I've noticed a lot of improvements even since I've been there!
A rice cooker is stocked with rice for lunch and dinner (from what I can infer from the sign advertising it). There are usually beans (or some form of legume) in the salad bar, along with a plethora of vegetables...pretty sure you can make a baked potato as well. As far as dressings go...look for the vinegars (rice wine, red wine, balsamic). If you've never tried these, experiment a little. There are also sunflower seeds from what I remember so those could act as a nice replacement for croutons. Fruit is always a safe bet as is oatmeal or cream of wheat for breakfast. Tea and water are good alternatives to pop and juice. As far as bread and dessert go, grab an orange or apple on your way out just for this one meal maybe ;).
If any of you really can't find something to eat (and have extra meals) let me know and I'll show you how to do it!
See you Thursday!

Community Day
"I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time.' So I ordered french toast during the Renaissance." - Steven Wright
On Wednesday, October 6th the whole school (students and faculty) will spend the day serving the Duluth community in various volunteer venues. This is an important day for the college as the purpose exemplifies the mission of St. Scholastica and the Benedictine values. I have taken the liberty to sign our class up for a site that we will serve at together. We will be at the Copeland-Valley Youth Center from 4-7pm helping kids carve pumpkins for Boo and the Zoo. This should be a fun class bonding activity. If you have already committed to another volunteer site, I ask that you let me know. If for instance you will be volunteering earlier in the day with another group I would like you to still come with the class during our volunteer slot. Let me know if you have questions!

Day without Corn Challenge!
As presented in class today, corn is a popular ingredient in most every food item we eat today. Julie and I challenge you to try and go ONE day without eating foods that contain CORN. If you get frustrated and give in...so what! At least you tried! Here is a list of some foods that you can bite into for this succulent experiment:
- fruits (fresh)
- vegetables (fresh)
- bread (artisan)
- H20 (from the tap...no "juicy drinks")
- rice (not from a box)
- legumes
Make a comment below about your experience!

Be prepared...
"A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body" - Benjamin Franklin
Thanks to all who have responded to the posted questions for this week. They focus on significant themes that are presented in the film "Food Inc." that we will view this coming Thursday. So at this point you should be somewhat prepared for what you will be watching.
In addition to one or two questions for next week, you will have a creative assignment. I will explain in more detail before class, but in an effort to ignite the fire I wanted to drop a little hint.
Prompt: Start thinking of your favorite food. Anything...it could be the cereal you had for breakfast or the perfect side dish at a Thanksgiving feast. I want you to create a visual presentation of that food with words that will make the reader (me) picture VERY VIVIDLY the emotion you feel when you eat it. Describe the food with strong action verbs, adjectives, stories. Revel in what makes you enjoy this food so much. Maybe it's a person you associate it with or a celebration. This is meant to be a fun, creative writing assignment, but I also really urge you to push yourself to be as descriptive as possible without being too wordy. Learning to write with purpose is an essential task to learn and I guarantee that you will be asked to do it in the next four years. I want to help build-up your writing skills in anyway I can. This seems like a proper start.
I'll see you soon.

And so it begins...
"I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants." - A. Whitney Brown, former SNL news anchor
Take a moment in your hectic day and savor the flavor of these thought provoking questions...and don't forget to leave a response!
1. Do you have pets at home? Do they have the same rights as the people who live with you? What rights do your pets have? In what ways are their rights limited? (For example, they may not be able to choose what or when to eat, when or how to get exercise, etc.)
2. Are there any rights that all animals should have?
3. If animals should have certain rights, do you think those rights also apply to animals we raise for food, like chicken and pigs? Are there any rights that farm animals should have? If so, what are they?

Opening Convocation
Hopefully you read this email, but if not...here's a quick glimpse of what is relevant to our class:
"One of our traditions is to take a photo of the first-year class on the steps of Tower Hall after the convocation. Wear something colorful on Thursday the 10th! Noon classes--including Thursday Dignitas classes--will meet from 1:00 - 1:50 p.m. First-year students in Thursday Dignitas sections should go to the front of the food line to help them get to class by 1:00 p.m."
Julie and I will see you at 1pm then for our first day of class. Don't forget your favorite snack food wrapper/package to share with the class.
PS...we were going to start watching Food Inc., but due to the shortened class period let's save that for next Thursday. Popcorn and treats (healthy of course) will still be recommended :)

Welcome to St. Scholastica Dignitas!
"Shipping is a terrible thing to do to vegetables. They probably get jet-lagged, just like people."
- Elizatbeth Berry
I'm guessing that many of you have spent the last few years "taste-testing" colleges throughout the country...I know from experience. But now you're here and about to start a four-year adventure in the northwoods of Duluth, MN at the College of St. Scholastica! Congrats! Now it's time to sit back, relax (as much as you can), and have fun. We're thrilled that you're here and ready to dip into the bottomless pot of discovery.
This blog will serve as one of your many tools to stay connected with this class and also as a discussion board. Each week, Julie and I will post a question for you too stir over and leaf a response. Participation points will be awarded based on your contribution...so don't be caught in a pot of boiling water!
Lettuce begin! Any questions, just email julie.and.julia2010@gmail.com!
