  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Choose Organic Ingredients
    Many people say that “you can’t feed the world with just organic food.” How would you respond to that statement?

    I would say "Im sorry your ret-...Dumb" 
    because my sister cant have a bunch of regular food so she needs to get the non gmo stuff and gluten free and its pretty good and bruh just look at me im a chubby kid just by these types of food 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Zero-Waste Cooking
    In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for using every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable (including the skins, tops, stalks, etc.) during your next meal prep?

    ok so for my next meal i could do, well its not a meal but its a like drink, so whenever u eat some pineapple, what you do is that you take the skin off and you would usually throw it away but my dad boils it, and the water in which it was being boiled is supposedly good for you, personally i dont like it 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Practice Gratitude for Earth
    Kathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How can we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?

    Uhm what she said, I genuinely don't understand this question so ima eave it at that
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Whole Food Lifestyle
    Michael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this assertion?

    Scotty Miranda (FIRE TRUCK) 5/04/2021 12:42 PM
    I mean he has a point to a certain extant because 1. if you don't pay the grocer/farmer, then there not going to let u get anything... And 2. If you don't pay the doctors then ur just gonna have a fee to pay BUT if u have incurrence then that's a different story
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    Consider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?
