Attention Explorers!

For this weeks blog assignment Julie and I would like you play around more with "The Meaning of Food" website.  Interact with TWO of the three sections (maybe the Food and Literature or the Edible School Yard) and in addition read the following article on the Western Diet (http://www.npr.org/2011/03/24/132745785/how-western-diets-are-making-the-world-sick?sc=fb&cc=fp).

Please make some comments on it for the "class blog" discussion!

See you on Thursday :)

The Meaning of Food discussion Q's

Happy Monday to you all!

We'd like to hear your thoughts on a few of the themes that were presented in the first few sections of the "Meaning of Food" PBS video series. 

What would you choose to be your last meal?  Why?

What have you discovered on the Meaning of Food website? 

See you Thursday!

A Fresh Start

Hello Friends,


Today we will be starting to watch the PBS mini series "The Meaning of Food."  There is a fun and interactive website that I'm including in this blog post.  Play around with the website and check out the neat features (but don't watch the videos because that's what we'll be doing in class).

I'll see you all in class!
