discussed the food industry from a variety of perspectives
considered how much information we get and how much we would like to get
debated the responsibility issue in terms of gaining information about what we eat
talked about food borne illnesses like e-coli and how current practices impact their spread
agreed that those responsible for this video can be considered "muckrakers," much like Upton Sinclair when he wrote The Jungle
learned about genetically modified seeds and discussed the pros and cons of this practice
examined the advantages and disadvantages of individual versus collective action in terms of making a difference
