This week in Colloquium, we were presented additional information on growing food in SW Florida. Dr. Segal commented on the differences that the mindset people our age had in comparison to when he was our age. Also we watched the film Food Inc.
Cesar: "I found this film very informative, I was not aware of the amount corn that is used to feed so many cows and chickens and also how many products are made out of corn. After watching this film, I am seriuosly considering cutting back on beef on my diet, and even switching to a full vegetarian diet "
Vanessa: "This week the class watched a film entitled Food Inc., which documented the dominent industries that control the way our food is produced and marketed. The most significant topic covered in my opinion is the amount of unnatural chemicals that are put in our food and given to the public. Another upsetting issue is the cruel way animals are treated in inhumane conditions. Animals are put through unhealthy diets, overcrowding, diseases, abuse, improper access to sunlight, and violently put to death. I believe this film assists in opening the eyes to the public."
