for this unit named birth in our food for thought class we spent our time learning about the industrialization of food and how it affects the worlds diets and cultures. I learned about Michael Pollan's philosophy and observations of how foods and diets change because of the industrial revolutions. so for this project my class had to compare a food made at home to one made at a restaurant and describe both dishes with the most detail and give a conclusion of which one better. for this project i decided to compare a burger from McDonalds to one grilled at home. the reason why I chose to do MacDonald for the project is because it seems to be the stereotype for fast food chain with paying next to nothing to employees giving lackluster unhealthy products in next to no time after you order them, not to mention the seemingly endless amount of mistakes and contravenes. for the burger made at home it's very simple when it comes to prep and cooking. first we took all the Kir...

for this project we had to create a speech speaking about a topic related to the UN's second sustainable development goal which is to solve world hunger in all forms. for the project i chose to talk about how farmers in third world countries are disadvantaged Today, in this day and age, we expect the farmers in all walks of life to be treated just. In other countries farmers are providing the best food they can make to a small area. This is most prevalent in third world countries where farmers can’t expand due to large corporate entities buying land. Farmers in third world countries are cheated out of sustainable living. This project is about SDG 1: no poverty. This Essay Relates to target 5 "By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters." At points in this essay I point out how some farmers g...

For this project we are supposed to plan a garden. But how do you plan a garden? You plan a garden by figuring out how much soil you are going to need. So i decided to plan for an old garden bed. For the materials i have are an extra bag of soil the any plants i can find and the other containers that i’m going to plant in is a vase and a cardboard box i found. As for the quality of soil in the ground it’s a small plot with weeds growing in it but i am going to cover it with a gardening mix to use. For this project i'm planning on growing peppers, cilantro, onions, beans, cucumber, garlic, milkweed, lettuce because i hear probably most of them except for the no weeding. As for the containers the vase is going to be aquaponic, for the cardboard box i am going to fill it half way with soil or 180 cu in and in the garden i am going to use 15 cu ft of soil.(for diagrams see below) and for the soil quality the N/P/K of ratio between the nitrogen phosphor and potassium that are necessar...

For this assignment we had to create a presentation about a plant and its journey from cradle to grave, or field to plate. For the assignment I chose okra as my family has a past with it.
