Class HappeningsWell, we definitely learned a lot about food in relation to our environment throughout the past two weeks. We discussed a reading about “feeding the world,” took a quiz on our diet, and watched two movies related to the American diet and food production.
Environmental Exposure
When I think about conserving the environment, I usually never think about my diet. These past two weeks definitely exposed me to the concept of environmentally-friendly diets and food production. I am definitely going to take some of the ideas I learned in class and implement them into my efforts to protect the environment.
Brilliant Blogging
This week I became frustrated with how time-consuming blogging is and the glitches I encountered with the application. I have learned to treat the blog assignments like regular classroom assignments and mark the due date in my planner…it usually works pretty well! I am also struggling to keep up with the “Share & Voice” posts by all of my group members…they are really cranking them out!
Personal Paradigm
After discussing the food pyramids in class, my paradigm has changed in relation to environmentally-friendly diets. I am now a fan of greener diets and have a deeper understanding of why eating meat and other animal products is harmful to the environment. I believe that it is in the best interest of the environment and my personal health if I make some changes to my current diet.

Great reflection, Lauren! I, too, appreciate the deeper understanding gained through the last two weeks of how our diets impact the environment. Also, I really liked your link to the "environmental vegetarianism" page. I have never heard that phrase before, and now I love it!
I agree with you on starting to change and making decisions because of you class, I have noticed myself doing that as well!
I totally understand where you're coming from with the glitches and how time consuming these blogs are getting, I'm going to try writing the due dates in my planner too. Good reflection!
good post lauren! I really liked the last couple of weeks and learning more about food and what we eat. I agree I have started thinking twice about what I eat, and food production in general.
