This is Catherine from John Carroll University. I watched "The Future of Food" documentary. It focused on genetically enhanced foods and the harm that is caused to a person's body by taking in these types of food. I thought the commercials were really hilarious. They featured frozen foods like hot pockets and tv dinners. This is a huge reason why there is such confusion among the American population about what food to buy and from where to buy it. A documentary about the effects of genetically enhanced and chemical smothered foods is interrupted by commercials promoting those exact things. This is why educating people about these issues is so important. Without the proper education, consumerism becomes extremely confusing.
This week I worked on developing a teaching tool for JCU students volunteering at food centers, kitchens, and shelters. Hopefully, with the help of my outline on hunger and poverty in the Cleveland area, JCU students will be better acquainted with their service placement before they begin their actual service.
