It isn’t necessarily why do I want to serve with FoodCorps but why wouldn’t I want to serve FoodCorps in my opinion. FoodCorps and myself share multiple similar values, some being the promotion of civilian equity regardless of culture or political differences, production of a better future through younger generations, and additionally the passion for healthy foods and spreading information about healthy foods. The moral life values I live by can be moderately characterized with some of the aspects of FoodCorps’s mission and vision.

    Big Food Strikes Back Analysis

    Michael Pollan's piece “Big Food Strikes Back” in October 9, 2016 The New York Times Magazine begins with critique of a lack of the discussion about food system during 2008 U.S. presidential campaigns. Nevertheless, the food topic—being multi-dimensional—is inevitably a part of a larger, and more discussed, themes such as public health, climate change, and nation's' energy requirements, to name a few. Furthermore, the author in this article pinpoints the U.S. food systems' problems. The production of monocrops, which are subsidized by the government, result in high emissivity of the greenhouse gasses and have shown a negative impact on public health and ecology.…

    The name of the policy that I am going to further explore is, The Child Nutrition Reauthorization Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (P.L 111-296) under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). The NSLP reauthorizes its program every five years and the latest policy update was the Healthy, Hungry-Free Kids Act of 2010. This policy authorized funding for federal school meal programs and increased access to healthy food for low-income children. This policy required the one that came before it, to be revised and have all the new, improved changes implemented in schools.

    Analysis Of The Documentary Food Inc.

    America has made a lot of changes in the past on becoming more inventive, resourceful, and as well as industrialized. Due to the variations in how our food industries operate, small family-owned farms have rapidly vanished leaving us with large, industrialized productions that mass produce for the benefit of the Large Corporations. Americans expect to be able to have large quantities of food available for purchase at anytime and at a low price. Unfortunately in order to get that food to us at low prices, we have to sacrifice aspects of animal rights, human rights, the environment, and health.…

    Analysis Of Michael Pollan's When A Crop Becomes King

    It influences every waking moment of our day, from breakfast to a midnight snack; food is life. The same dependence transfers into the food industry, who have the same power over us, if not more. Shortly after President Bush’s farm bill in 2002, the New York Times published Michael Pollan’s article, “When a Crop Becomes King” which depicts a harsh reality of how the food industry, specifically the corn production, has taken over American politics, health, and the environment. In Michael Pollan’s “When a Crop Becomes King”, Pollan effectively argues that corn production has managed to take control of American society with strong imagery, credible facts, and suitable personifications. In his initial paragraphs, Pollan sets the stage for his argument through the use of imagery.…
