He wants to inform his readers of the “behind the scene” actions of the production of food as well as help people who live in urban areas to be aware of what types of food they are buying. In doing so, he provides a list of seven interesting points we should all, people who live in urban areas as well as rural areas, should consider when making food choices.

Pollan, Michael. The Omnivore's Dilemma A Natural History of Four Meals. New York, NY: Penguin Press, 2006. Print.

Omnivores Dilemma unwraps our food chain and the way we consume food. He suggests there are three food chains, the industrial, the organic and the hunter-gatherer, in which all link us in what we eat. During Chapter 2 he describes the production of corn and how the increase of production has grown over time. Even though there is an extreme increase does not mean that our corn that we are eating is healthy.

Qualley, Donna. Turns of Thought: Teaching Composition as Reflexive Inquiry. Portsmouth, NH: Boynton/Cook Publishers, Inc.,
        1997. 1-30. Print.

The introduction and chapter 1 from Turns of Thought  talks about the importance of reflexive inquiry in writing. A high school teacher took the ideas from Donald Murray and developed her own sense of reflexive inquiry through her students as well as her own journey of understanding a new culture and new way of life. In the result of this chapter I came to the conclusion that Qualley wants us as writers to continually reflect and reshape our writing. It takes time and practice but we will begin to gain the techniques of developing connections within our writing.

The Slow Food Movement originated in the late 1970’s in Italy where people began to examine “how and what we eat”. In the early 2000’s the United States examined the Slow Food Movement and began to jump on the bandwagon of examining what we eat by looking at natural and organic foods. At this time the Slow Food Movement wanted to re-define gastronomy and promote a lifelong education of social knowledge about food.
