“Chicken Ala Carte”

When I first heard the title of the short film, I thought it was just ways on how to cook that dish but surprisingly I never had an idea that this short movie could answer my question “Is that really true?.” I’ve come up with that query because every time I would eat my meal both of my parents and friends would tell me, “you should finish eating all of those in your plate” most especially with regards to the rice, “for every single grain you left in your plate serves as the number of people in this world that cannot afford to buy and eat foods” they added. From then, it even made me realized that I am fortunate enough to eat more than thrice a day. Unlike those kids who struggled so hard just to feed their empty stomach. Furthermore, upon watching it I couldn’t stop myself from having sympathy for those who are on the forgotten portion of our country for they are the one who deserves to benefit the profit our country has earned. In this kind of situation, you can’t really avoid to demand that those people should be the one our government should be focusing on improving one’s life due to the fact that since they pursue themselves to the politics, it is their duty to serve their countrymen first before anything else. Aside from scarcity, I believe education is also the key to keep away from those kind of circumstances in life because if you are a well-educated person, you will be aware of family planning and most especially you have the capability to earn money and buy foods in order for you and your family to survive. Further to that the last two part of the film is really the one who made me reflect to a lot of things for it was so inspiring. First, when the man who pedals his tricycle leaves the fast-food together with his own bin that is full of leftovers then at daytime he opened the cover of the bin and the children start searched for those little pieces of food that they can

    The documentary, Two American Families address the financial issues many Americans are still facing today. CBS wanted to capture and tell the world of the struggles Americans are facing when multinational corporations are moving their companies overseas, leaving people in America unemployed for cheaper labor. Business owners try to make the best decisions for the companies, but why don’t they ever make the best decision for their employees? Families expressed the "American Dream" they believed growing up was not what they expected. Families were well off when the country’s economic rate was at its best success, however, when corporations began to take their business overseas in countries such as China, many American workers were left without…

    It showed that sugar was the problem, but it puts all the blame and responsibility of changing the American diet on food industries instead of the people. The message the film portrayed was that sugar consumption was at the heart of the obesity epidemic. The film hammered home that subliminal messages food companies advertised on T.V so they can save themselves and amass more wealth by advertising value meals that are supposedly “cheaper” than healthy alternatives. They add that supermarkets lower junk food prices at the supermarket so people are more tempted to buy them. The film did a good job at portraying how the children and their families were dealing with their individual weight problems, and how impossible it seems to lose weight when their own bodies and society betrays them by advertising junk food, and not making healthier food choices more available. It really tries to connect with the audience members by making us sympathize with the children, but it dosen’t get too dramatic with the problems and feelings of the children, which made them feel…

    Have you ever wondered where your food comes from? The Omnivore’s Dilemma, written by Michael Pollan, digs deeper into this question. He explains the different food chains and argues that some are more wholesome and healthy than others. In this way, he solves “the omnivore’s dilemma”; when people can eat everything, what should they eat? Pollan proves that guidance is necessary in order to improve people’s eating habits by writing about healthful food choices from the past, how our senses are fooling us to make the wrong food choices, and how culture impacts the food on everyone’s plates.…

    Prior to this activity, I was skeptical that I would not learn anything beneficial or enlightening. After a little debate, I decided to move forward in watching the documentary Poor America. Although this was a short documentary, I felt that every second was impactful. This documentary was the perfect introduction to allow myself to develop within this series of multicultural activities. I felt engaged during the documentary because it showed several different people going through something similar that I have thankfully not had to experience in my life. Prior to this documentary, I do not believe I was aware of true poverty. A lot of the things that I had growing up I did not realize they were such a privilege. Although small, this experience as help me develop a better understanding.…

On the contrary, Adam Drewnowski, the author of “Divided We Eat,” has an argument that the nutritious food is provided for people in the U.S, and there is no way that people get issue of affordability in such a richest country like the U.S. He also states that low-income families choose the lack of nutritious food because they do not have nutrition education and they like to eat the junk food. Up against to this argument, The research of hunger trend is much larger than even the most pessimistic observers had expected, so the causes of hunger problem become more seriously are low paid families difficult struggle for food after the recession, lack of responsibility of government in the food aid, and the outrageous price of nutritious food make poverty choose insecure food. In fact, low-income families neither lack nutrition education nor like to choose the junk food.…
