CH GCE Portfolio

The third unit of Food for Thought is called birth. We learned about the advancements in technology and researched the Industrial Revolution. We watched a movie called, "Food Inc". We read excerpts from Michael Pollen's book called, "In Defense of Food". We learned about the difference between organic and industrial food, different ways of farming to substitute for industrial farming, and the six Ayurveda tastes which relate to nutrition. We went on Field Experiences to Whole Foods where we looked at different food labels and lastly we went to Uncommon Grounds where we talked to about urban farming. For this last Action Project, we were instructed to write a food review on a meal that was restaurant cooked and homemade. We had to describe each dish using our senses and recommend which one we like more. I decided to write my reviews on Chicken Tacos. I hope you enjoy! CH. "Is It Worth It?" 2019

This term in my humanities class, we were focusing on a unit called Food for Thought. In my Food For Thought class, we are currently in Unit 2, which is called Death. We learned about the Irish Potato Famine, the Atlantic Slave Trade, and Chattel slavery. All these steps lead up to our action project, Sustainable Development Goal 2. I choose SDG 2.4, which is about making sure farms are producing food under the sustainable food, production and resilient agricultural practices. CH. "Video." 2019. CH. "UN: Goal 2; Target 2.4." 2019
