Hi Everyone! Sorry I'm a little late in responding to the blogs. I found some of the information in this article to be interesting as it expounded a lot on what has seemed to be a large topic of conversation between the other two vistas that are working at the college and I. Before this summer, I wouldn't of have thought that efforts to produce mass amounts of industrial food was a major problem, but I read an article this past week that two researchers from John Hopkins University predicted some time ago that by 2015 75% of Americans would be either obese or overweight. Also, another article in the New York Times said that this up and coming generation is the first generation that they're expected to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents because of the food that they're eating. Unfortunately, I think it might take something this impactful to lead us to pay more attention to what we're putting into our bodies.
