Industrial Food Paper
Where did you last meal come from? What was is made out of? Chances are you are like most Americans, who have no idea, today Americas food corporations are extremely industrialized. It is difficult for one to understand where their meals come from unless they are locally grown nearby or on your own. Fast food is the main contributor to this problem as well as mass produced foods. Presently there is a big dissconnection between the food and its eaters.
The IFS (Industrial Food System), today has surrounded the world mainly in the United States, McDonalds alone operates over 31,000 restaraunts worldwide. Fast food and mass produced food are two parts of the IFS, they work by the art of persuasiveness and convenience. There are examples of industrial food everywhere, in the super market, in your fridge, and anywhere you go on the road or by foot. The McDonalds website even has what is called a “McDonalds Trip Planner”, type in your starting street address and your destination and they will give you a map of every McDonalds on your route. Seeing the IFS in some way shape or form is impossible living in our industrialized world of today.
It's based on making as much money as possible and not considering the consequences of how these monopolies are getting there. Meat-Packing factories have the conveyor belt moving at a top speed, where it is almost impossible for a worker to do a good job and cleaning, cutting and organizing the meat. Often Big corporations, factories and companies are involved in the all the reasons we don't know where the food on our plates comes from. My experience with industrial food has been constant my whole life. Living in The United States and especially in Manhattan, I have grown up in an industrialized world, full of industrial things including foods.

Organic Goat Cheese/ Farmer's Market
-Organic Goat Cheese
-Goat cheese is more easily digestiable compared to cheese made from cows milk
- LYNN HAVEN
GOAT MILK CHEESE
414 Chruch Rd. PIne Bush, NY 12566
Contact Lynn Fleming
-HOW To make it
Pasteurizing:
Filter the goat's milk and heat it to 162° F.
Remove from burner and cool to 100°F.
Goats Cheese Process:
Dissolve 1/2 of a rennet tablet in 1/8 cup of water, (rennet tabs can be found in the pudding/Jello section of your grocery store).
Pour the rennet water, plus a quart of goats milk, in a yogurt maker, or thick pottery jug or thermos, along with a teaspoon of plain yogurt. (I've added some eBay auctions of yogurt makers for you at the bottom of this page. That way you get to see what they look like and get the best deal if you're interested in buying one.)
Incubating the Goat Cheese
Incubate the mixture (let it sit in a warm spot - 90° F) for 2-3 hours until the mixture resembles curds and whey (looks like thick globs of yogurt in a milky soup).
Filtration of the Cheese Curds
Pour the mixture into supported coffee filters (you might have to fashion a contraption that allows the liquid to filter out and away from the cheese).
Give this dripping filter process approximately 5-8 hours to complete the filtration task in the refrigerator.
What's left in the filters is goat cheese.

Civilization and Feed Comparison

B History
“Feed” in Comparison to Civilization Course
Feed By M.T. Anderson
This last semester in my civilization course we have learned about the ups and downs of our civilization, including how the world we live in constantly bombards us with advertisements and media, and how we actually have no perception of reality. In “Feed” by M.T. Anderson, based on our oncoming future, all humans have a chip implanted inside their brain known as a “feed”. The feed works as almost anything, a chat system, a television, a way to listen to music, and a way to receive information, such as advertisements. People are constantly being bombarded with ads in their feeds and into their brains. M.T. Anderson’s prediction of the future isn’t far off from our present.
Titus, a teenager and main character of the story “Feed”, travels to the moon with some friends, once there he meets a girl named Violet, suddenly everyone’s feeds get hacked and shut down. This is when Violet, Titus and his friends become good friends, and in the case of Violet and Titus, more than friends. Violet realizes how corrupt the feed is, and how everyone is practically being brainwashed, they no longer have to think for themselves. The feed includes a dictionary, calculator, internet, it practically has access to anything you need, you no longer have to find out where to stay on the moon. As soon as you arrive you are thrown hundreds of advertisements for hotels on the moon. Violet decides to fight the feed and the phenomenon of it that has taken over the World.
Today it is a statistic that the average person living in New York sees approximately 5,000 advertisements a day. If we lived today with feeds in our brains we would probably be getting an advertisement shown to us every second, even if we chose to ignore it, we would see it. The media is something that is constantly surrounding us and in this future world presented by Anderson it is even more so. Everything that we live in today isn’t necessarily reality, television is a picture of something that we don’t really see, radio is something that we don’t really hear, instant messaging isn’t actually talking. This way of living now isn’t far off from the “feed”, it’s almost the same just not quite implanted in our brains. The “feed” takes all this to a brand new and higher level, there is no longer any need for using your voice, you can talk to anyone instantly using the feed and so much more. There is hardly any use for having a brain.
There is a clear comparison between our “reality” on earth and the earth that Anderson portrays in his book. Hopefully we will be able to realize to use our brains more, before it gets to the stage of the “feed”.

Final Draft ESP
Can We Stop Global Warming From Killing Life On Earth?
Today Global Warming is affecting our world in a big way, and people are starting to recognize it more and more. This issue is affecting how long we all live on earth, and people continue to wonder if we can stop it or not. We can stop global warming from killing life on Earth, there are some things that would be an easy change in our lifestyle and some things that might be more difficult. However it is certainly possible to stop this phenomenon, the only question is if everyone will participate and make it happen.
“Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere and temperatures are rising. We’re already seeing changes. Glaciers are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat, and the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing.”(An Inconvenient Truth:What is Global Warming?)The years 2005 and 1998 were the warmest years on record. “Global average surface temperatures pushed 2005 into a virtual tie with 1998 as the hottest year on record.[1] For people living in the Northern Hemisphere—most of the world's population—2005 was the hottest year on record since 1880, the earliest year for which reliable instrumental records were available worldwide(Union Of Concerned Scientists: Global Warming 2006).”
* Here is a chart showing the Earths temperature trends from 1880 till 2000, as you can see our temperature is on a nonstop rise.-(NASA Data Sets and Images 2005)
These record temperature highs are causing such a raise in the earth’s warmth that there has been severe melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet(below).
*
(The red area shown is the ice melted in 2005 and the pink area shows the ice that had melted off during 1992.)
The melting of Greenland’s ice shows one just how severe and serious this problem is. If not stopped everyone will eventually be affected by it and life on Earth will end. Even though the severity of this problem is extreme there are certainly many ways in which it could be solved and some are already beginning to do so. Global Warming wasn’t much of an issue until industrial civilization boomed in our world, that’s when technology rose and used more and more energy and companies produced more and more carbon dioxide emissions and ruined our forests. Nonetheless there are many way to now stop the boom in this very serious and scary phenomenon.
Recently mass transit numbers have been on a constant rise, during an average New York City weekday around 7,126,950 people use New York City Transit, as a whole around 7,785,175 use MTA mass transit during an average weekday. Using mass transportation means less people driving their own cars, and in the long run meaning that there are fewer green house gas emissions every day. If people continue to use modes of mass transit everyday and more people begin to then we can save ourselves a lot of damage. Car pooling is also becoming more and more popular, it saves gas and using less cars you would emit less green house gases. “In Europe, car-sharing is estimated to reduce the average user’s carbon dioxide emissions by 40%-50%. In addition, many car-sharing organizations include low-emission vehicles, such as gasoline-electric hybrid cars, in their fleets, which also reduces user’s impacts on air quality and climate change.-(Vital Signs 2006-2007:World Watch Institute-Car Sharing Continues to Gain Momentum By: Susan A. Shaheem) According to a graph in the same book Vital Signs there is a growth in car sharing world wide, and it is increasing at a steady rate. New companies such as Flexcar and ZipCar let you rent a car for a certain amount of time without buying one, when done with the car you take it back to where you started the trip so someone else can come and use the same car for their own trip, they also cover gas maintenance and insurance, you only pay a certain amount per month. Companies like these promote car-sharing so that people save carbon dioxide and people save more of their money than purchasing their own car.
Car-sharing and using more mass transportation are very simple things that everyone can do to help save ourselves. There are also several more simple things people can do, if people learned to conserve energy more by doing little things like turning off the lights when not using them, using compact fluorescent light bulbs, air drying your clothes instead of using a dryer, unplugging electronics when you aren’t using them, buy more recycled paper products or using the computer and television less and going outside. Hybrid cars are also something that could make a big difference, it is expected by The Freedonia Group Inc. that the hybrid-electric vehicle demand will be at 8 Million by the year 2020. “Hybrid sales were up almost 14 percent from November 2005 in a car market that showed only 3 percent growth over the same period.”-(Hybridcars.com)
Those are some of the very easy things everyone can do, something a little more difficult would be for businesses to lower their budgets so that less of the forest is destroyed not only does it disrupt and kill different species that live there but chopping down trees affects global warming in more than one way. “A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Shade provided by trees can also reduce your air conditioning bill by 10 to 15%.”-(An Inconvenient Truth) In the process of cutting down trees and destroying nature, the pollution and carbon dioxide emissions from the trucks and machinery is affecting global warming. And as the carbon dioxide there are no longer and trees there to absorb it. This solution to the problem of Global Warming is a little more difficult than the previous ones, however they are ways to accomplish what we need to do in order to survive.
It is very possible that we can do these things and save life on earth before it’s too late. Many scientists and authors don’t think this is plausible. The world will become unsustainable if we don’t act, the way we are headed with a current population of 6.6 billion people, the only thing that will happen is an increase in energy and oil consumed. However if the world does act then we can save ourselves and the Earth from an abrupt ending, The world oil consumption dropped slightly in the 1970s and then again a little more in the 1980s since then it has only increased. However if we have been able to bring the consumption down before, even if unintentional, why can't we do it now? If we wanted to do it for a reason and with a very serious cause it is very possible that we can defeat global warming as a world. With all the technology we have such as hybrid/electric cars, solar and wind power it is very possible to do this. The continuations and starts of everyone doing little things in their homes and outside their homes will start to make a huge difference in the warming of our earth.
Global warming is a huge issue that will eventually kill us all if there is nothing done about it. The world will become unsustainable, our current population is over 6.6 billion people, that means more and more pollution produced by each person more energy wasted and more oil consumed. It also means an increased need for transportation for them, food, shelter, clothes and other basic needs. This will start to affect everyone directly, and it has already started to directly affect our world.
“-The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has almost doubled in the last 30 years
-Malaria has spread to higher altitudes in places like the Colombian Andes, 7,000 feet above sea level.
-The flow of ice from glaciers in Greenland has more than doubled over the past decade.
-At least 279 species of plants and animals are already responding to global warming, moving closer to the poles
-If the warming continues, we can expect catastrophic consequences.
-Deaths from global warming will double in just 25 years -- to 300,000 people a year.
-Global sea levels could rise by more than 20 feet with the loss of shelf ice in Greenland and Antarctica, devastating coastal areas worldwide.
-Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense.
-Droughts and wildfires will occur more often.
-The Arctic Ocean could be ice free in summer by 2050.
-More than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050.
There is no doubt we can solve this problem. In fact, we have a moral obligation to do so. Small changes to your daily routine can add up to big differences in helping to stop global warming. The time to come together to solve this problem is now – TAKE ACTION”-(An Inconvenient Truth)
The warming of our own earth is something scary that can and will affect us if something isn’t done. Thankfully there are so many things we can do to save ourselves and in the end we hopefully will end up doing so. There isn’t a reason why we can’t stop global warming in its tracks if everyone does their share all we can do now is continue to help and hope that everyone will do the same so life on earth can continue.

EQ- If we continue to live the way we do now will Global Warming make the world unsustainable for humans?
THESIS-Yes, it will make it unsustainable for humans, but as a world we can stop global warming.
INTRO- Today Global Warming is affecting our world in a big way, and people are starting to recognize it more and more. This issue is affecting how long we all live on earth, and people continue to wonder if we can stop it or not. I do believe that we can stop global warming there are some things that would be an easy change in our lifestyle and some things that might be more difficult, However it is certainly possible to stop this phenomenon, the only question is if people will particitpate and make it happen.
MAJOR ARGUMENTS-
A-Mass transit numbers are on a constant rise, Car pooling
B-Global warming is also a very serious issue yet can also be solved by simple things done per capita, if people learned to conserve energy/save power or even if we could find a new source or energy, if hybrid cars were owned by more people or even used more mass transportaion we could slow down global warming by a lot
C-If business would lower their budgets then less of the forest and nature would be harmed in the process and the pollution in the air of trucks and machinery affecting global warming
D-(posssible) .The world oil consumption dropped slightly in the 1970s and then again a little more in the 1980s since then it has only increased.However if we have been able to bring the consumption down before, even if un-intentional, why can't we do it now? With all the technology we have niike hybrid/electric cars, solar and wind power we could.
-The world will become unsustainable our current population is over 6.6 billion people, that means more and more pollution produced by each person more energy wasted and more oil consumed.
CONNECTIONS
-Because human population is on a constant rise, and we have reached about 6.6Billion people on our earth, there is a need for transportation for them. However recently mass transit numbers have risen and so have car sharing/pooling numbers.
-Before industrial civilization boomed in our world, air pollution and global warming wasn't an issue.
-Also before the industrial civilization we never needed more space to make factories and buildings, or tractors and trucks.
-explains it self for past...
OPV
-We have already done so much damage to the earth there is no way that we can save it
-A few people driving hybrid cars won’t make a difference

I do believe that we can stop global warming there are some things that would be an easy change in our lifestyle and some things that might be more difficult, However it is certainly possible to stop this phenomenon, the only question is if people will particitpate and make it happen.
MAJOR ARGUMENTS-
A-Mass transit numbers are on a constant rise, Car pooling
B-Global warming is also a very serious issue yet can also be solved by simple things done per capita, if people learned to conserve energy/save power or even if we could find a new source or energy, if hybrid cars were owned by more people or even used more mass transportaion we could slow down global warming by a lot
C-If business would lower their budgets then less of the forest and nature would be harmed in the process and the pollution in the air of trucks and machinery affecting global warming
D-(posssible) .The world oil consumption dropped slightly in the 1970s and then again a little more in the 1980s since then it has only increased.However if we have been able to bring the consumption down before, even if un-intentional, why can't we do it now? With all the technology we have niike hybrid/electric cars, solar and wind power we could.
-The world will become unsustainable our current population is over 6.6 billion people, that means more and more pollution produced by each person more energy wasted and more oil consumed.
CONNECTIONS
-Because human population is on a constant rise, and we have reached about 6.6Billion people on our earth, there is a need for transportation for them. However recently mass transit numbers have risen and so have car sharing/pooling numbers.
-Before industrial civilization boomed in our world, air pollution and global warming wasn't an issue.
-Also before the industrial civilization we never needed more space to make factories and buildings, or tractors and trucks.
-explains it self for past...
OPV
-We have already done so much damage to the earth there is no way that we can save it
-A few people driving hybrid cars won’t make a difference

first draft esp
EQ- If we continue the way we live now, will the world be sustainable for humans for our future family?
THESIS-We can change the direction of our world if if we make big changes in our lifestyle.
MAJOR ARGUMENTS-
A-World hunger is already a huge issue in our world and in years to come it can only get worse, if we change the portions some people eat in countries like the US, and we give more to places where starvation is an issue, less and less people would die of starvation each year.
B-Global warming is also a very serious issue yet can also be solved by simple things done per capita, if people learned to conserve energy/save power or even if we could find a new source or energy, if hybrid cars were owned by more people or even used more mass transportaion we could slow down global warming by a lot

With all the technology we have niike hybrid/electric cars, solar and wind power we could.
CONNECTIONS
-When the world didn't hold 6.6 billion human beings, which wasn't very long ago there were more food and resources to go around. Now because of the constant baby boom, and the selfishness of others there is less and less to share with the more unfortunate.
-Before industrial civilization boomed in our world, air pollution and global warming wasn't an issue.
-Also before the industrial civilization we never needed more space to make factories and buildings, or tractors and trucks.
-explains it self for past...
OPV
(get resources of opposing viewpoints in class) many don't think we can stop where we are headed at this point at turn around.
