The Moral Crusade Against Foodies (W8)
You've read Myers' argument but you've also worked with a quite a few of his "source texts" over the quarter. How would you respond to Myers? Do you think his claims are legitimate or do you have another way of looking at things?

Food, Inc.
What do you think Food Inc is arguing for and what were the most successful strategies that were used in the film? Give particular attention to
1) the overlaps between the movie and both Fast Food Nation and The Omnivore's Dilemma;
2) the use of people in the film (as opposed to the investigative reporting in Fast Food Nation);
3) the roles that Schlosser and Pollan played in the film.
This post is due on 2/15. You might want to take a look at the W6 blog prompt before you respond to this so that the two posts don't overlap too much.
