Blog post 2 Robert Diaz<\/p>\n
This blog post will be influenced by take away 5 and parts of lecture. I previously mentioned in my take away journal the true cost of cheap food. Just because food is cheap doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s healthy for you and it also doesn\u2019t mean that didn\u2019t have a negative impact elsewhere on in the world in regards of distribution purposes. For instance, in my take away I used Walmart as an example how them dropping prices so low that local farmers cannot compete therefore; forcing small local farmers out of business.
\nAlso, international trade and global inequities, like chocolate for instance. Big nations like America, United Kingdom, Japan, and many many other nations use high amounts of chocolate and we all enjoy it, there are tens of thousands of far less fortunate people in 3rd world nations being enslaved to harvest the beans that make chocolate that we enjoy each and every day while these workers suffer and have little to almost no true value in life at all. Meanwhile, the chocolate industry is covers this evil with advertisements, pretty labels and sweet sugar to make us addicted to such a lovely substance Lastly, the other thing I took away from lecture was the way we generalize and identify food with people. I mentioned that Protein is seen as a more masculine supplement and the more of it you have the more masculine you will become with more muscle mass. This suggests sometimes why woman stay away from too much protein, or at least certain types of protein like whey or casein, so they don\u2019t get too bulky. I found that interesting that how we allow something as simple as protein to shadow the way we look at ourselves.
\nI ponder on how our food is delivered to us not just by trucks, boats, trains, and planes. But also, its delivered to us by gender distribution, sex, race, class and more. The world around us is being labeled right in front of our own eyes and it for the most part, goes unnoticed. The question I ask, what is or can be the impact of this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
