Hey everyone! This is Gabe, the summer associate with Save Our Children. I just finished watching the documentary entitled "The Future of Food". This film explores the development and implementation of genetically modified foods within an industrialized food system. If anyone is interested in the issues surrounding patenting seeds, food labels in supermarkets, the economics of industrialized food markets, and the corporate role in food production then I highly recommend this movie for you. Many scenes in the movie are scary especially one in which a representative from Japan states that the Japanese government plans to watch American children over the next ten years to see how harmful the side affects of consuming genetically modified food truly are. One thing I found amusing was that I watched the video on Hulu and every fifteen minutes the advertisements that appeared were for processed foods such as Stouffers TV dinners.
In other news, my work at Save Our Children is going great. I have been teaching cooking classes to students, working at an urban gardening initiative known as Eden Vision, and have been donating my time working at the Elyria City Fresh stop. In addition, I have plans to play with my jazz band at numerous community dinners that are supporting the organic movement.
Keep working hard and enjoy your week!
