Great Job!

 I want to commend you on the wonderful posts last week. I appreciate how you engaged with the various discourses about specific "superfoods." I learned a lot grading them and look forward to the next round. I don't have specific prompts for you this week, though I can think of lots of great directions that you may follow regarding added sugars, fat types, and vegetarian diets. Last weekend I went to the theater to watch This is the End.  I am not endorsing this as a way to spend your money, though there was a fantastic dialogue between two of the main characters about the evils of gluten.  It was very funny and it led to the two actors binging on Carl's Junior shortly thereafter and cursing the wonderful evil that they perceived gluten to possess.  I suppose if you are flapping in the wind and can't decide what you write about you you could consider any of the controversies in relation to to the way your relationship to convenience food products and whole foods changes throughout the school year or season. Another problematic practice that relates to the three controversies this week includes how our popular culture labels foods as "good" or "bad." Our text steers clear of this and our Myplate project should help demonstrate how the plate can be viewed more openly than many sources lead us to believe. Best of luck as you complete this week’s assignments. I look forward to the barrage of blog notifications.
