Food Systems.
Instructions
Choose one of the meals/food systems that Pollan discusses in his book: Industrial (e.g., a
McDonald’s or traditional supermarket meal), Big Organic (e.g., Whole Foods), Locally Produced
(e.g., Polyface Farms), or Self foraged/self-grown/self-hunted. In a discussion post to the "Book
Club Discussion" board (approx. 300-400 words total), please address the following questions:
• What cultural, environmental, biological/evolutionary, globalization, or political-economic
principles that we have discussed in class relate to Pollan’s discussion of the particular
meal/food system that you are focusing on? You must address a minimum of two (2) of these different
course themes in your response. Be sure to use and cite at least two (2) course materials as
evidence to support your argument using APA format for in-text citations (approx. 200-300 words).
At least one citation must be a reading, the other may be a course video. Neither Pollan or course
lectures may be cited.
• How did reading this book change (or not change) your views about your own eating habits
and why? Be sure to connect your viewpoints to ideas presented in the book. (apprx100 words).
Please use the McDonalds option as the chosen subject matter from “The Omnivore`s Dilemma” to do
the assignment.
