HW 7 - Reading Response Monday

CHAPTER 1: My version of corn is a special one.  I am here today to tell you how corn has evolved over the period of time.  Corn has spread all over the world really fast and it is really successful

CHAPTER 2: Corn isn't just another vegetable that people eat.  Corn is everything that you basically eat.  Corn is in the meat you eat, the meat that you buy.  Corn has spread like gold across the world and continues today.  


CHAPTER 3: Corn doesn't have all natural ingredients that you people think.  I am her to tell you that corn actually has nitrogen inside of it.


CHAPTER 4: The leftover corn is wasted and thrown out somewhere by emptying it and letting it pass through elevators, pipes, mills, and laboratories.

CHAPTER 5: We feed our cows mostly corn and sometimes other cow parts, but that backfired on us.  In England the people started dying because of what they called mad cow disease.  It was a infection inside of the cows brain.

CHAPTER 6: Do you want to know where your food comes from.  Sure it comes from animals but do you want to know how we make it stay fresh.  We put preservatives inside of our/your food so that we can make it stay fresh longer.  It doesn't do anything to your bodies, like increase fat around your heart, nothing like that


CHAPTER 7: Corn isn't as healthy as some people think it is.  Most childhood obesity com from eating food, but inside of that food os what we call corn.  Mcdonald's use corn in there food and tried super sizing there meals.  Because, they found out people tend to eat 30 percent more when they have a bigger tray of food.

CHAPTER 8: There are many types of food in the world, there is sweet, sour, spicy, tender, bitter, hard, and juicy food.  Most people decide what they eat and decide whether they like lit or not.

CHAPTER 9: Fast foods have a lot of chemicals inside of here food.  Take the chicken nuggets for example, o r the chemical nuggets, they have chemicals inside of them.  One chemical called Dimethylopolysiloxene is suspected by people of causing cancer.

CHAPTER 10: Not all corn is bad. There is in fact some healthy food out there, we call that organic food.  100 percent organic food are products that contain only certified organic ingredients


CHAPTER 11: Not all corn is healthy like we were making it out to be.  Your actually eating oil that is put in some food.  in 2003, researchers studied the crops of two types of corn, strwaberries, and blackberries.  These plants were identical and grew side by side.  One set of plants was grown using organic methods, but the other set was grown conventionally with chemical fertillizer, pesticides, and herbicides.

 CHAPTER 12: Unlike animals, we humans can't eat grass, but we don't always need to kill animals in order to get meat.  We can put plants such as corn into meat like w already do in order to make corn into everything that you eat.  A Naylor farm is industrial, has annual species, monoculture, fossil fules, a global market, and imported fertility.  The polyface farm is ecological, has perennial species, diverse crop species, solar energy, a local market, and local fertility. 

CHAPTER 13: Have you really actually looked at grass?  When we humans look at grass, all we see is the samething over and over agian, but we never looked at grass form a cow's perspective,  to a cow, grass is like a open buffet, where they get to eat everything/anything that they are able to find.  My farm was abused for 150 years, and today I am still restoring the land.  I wish my dad was here to see what a great job we done to make the farm what it is today.

CHAPTER 14: When we let or chickens go loose in pasture, we rely on there natural instincts to clean up after the herbivores.  During the winter our cows and chickens leave there pastures and head into the barn.  But our polyface farm doesn't stop, so we just move our work indoors.  We must leave the manure the cow's leave wherever it falls from.  This usually stays beneath the cattle. 

CHAPTER 15: We round up the chicken in the morning and put them in big plastic crates.  We kiil them, take out there guts, and plucker them by taking of all of there feathers.  We put all of this stuff in a big pile and prepare it for extraction.  The first thing you must do is cut off its head.
