The Potato Epidemic Summary
The Potato Epidemic

One fine morning in the Kingdom of Sandwiches, SandwichKing and Sandwich, his pet, were going for a walk. Suddenly, green potatoes, “The SWAT,” came out of nowhere and asked a million questions about mashed potatoes? Then suddenly, as fast as they had appeared, they disappeared.
“Who was that?” asked SandwichKing, “And what do they want with mashed potatoes? Whatever.” Then SandwichKing and Sandwich continued on their walk.
The next day, when SandwichKing looked out his window, all he could see was smoke in the distance, but he knew that was bad. He went and summoned all of his men to the court room and discussed the smoke.
“It’s from a fire,” one said, “and we should put it out!”
“On no account should we do that,” one said. “It’s a distress smoke signal and we should answer it!”

He said, “It’s an epidemic of potatoes, and we need to do something about it!” The room fell silent.
“What should we do?” asked SandwichKing.
“You should go on a search most shudder the thought of, the journey of a lifetime, to find The Intense Potato!” The room was soundless (again).
“Where can The Intense Potato be found?” SandwichKing said.
The old man turned and pointed to a cave in the distance that was very far off.
“Okay, I’ll go,” said SandwichKing, and he left.

“This will take forever,” moaned SandwichKing. “How much longer until we’re there?” He looked up and he saw he was at the entrance of the cave. Oh, he thought, and he went in with Sandwich.
“Where are we?” he said. Then, in the distance, he saw a bright light.
He went to it and saw a glowing potato. “That must be The Intense Potato!” he assumed, and he went closer to the

    Food, Inc. starts with a whimsical song consisting of strings and other orchestral instruments and immediately displays a bright, green camera shot panning across rolling, lush hills. It does not take more than a minute before the song transitions into an, almost devious tune that suggests there is much more beneath the surface. While this transition plays out the narrator, Eric Schlosser, explains how supermarkets deceive buyers using pictures of farms, animals, and green pastures on their packaging and displays but “the industry doesn’t want you to know the truth about what you are eating because if you knew, you might not want to eat it”. Schlosser is an investigative reporter with a…

    Tyranny. Something that has torn apart nations and civilizations for centuries. No wonder our founding fathers worked so hard to inhibit it. James Madison, the father of the constitution, wrote that power in the hands of one, few, or many is the definition of tyranny. The existing constitution, The Articles of Confederation, was not working for the young America. There was no chief executive, judicial system, or a central government to unite the states. After just separating from a tyrant king, the framers of our constitution wanted to create a strong defense against tyranny. The systems protecting our government against tyranny is federalism, separation of powers, and balance of powers.…

    Michael Pollan in 2006, published a work that has to some degree changed the way that people eat, or at the very least attempted to change the way that we think about the food we eat. (Shea 54) Pollan demonstrates through fundamentally modern rhetoric the relationship that people, and more specifically American’s have with food and how very distant we are from it. ("History, Old Favorites in" B08) To some degree Pollan, others like him and internationally challenging food shortages and even worse food born illnesses and scares are changing the way that food is understood with regard to an international and national food traceability and accountability movement. (Popper 365) Pollan challenges the “industrial food chain” looking at ingredients, finished food products and other issues to try to source out the distance between man and his or her food. His investment in the idea goes much further as he explores through rhetoric several scenarios regarding obtaining and cooking meals. Those scenarios including attempting to show American’s a better way, or at least shock us out of our food stupor by first enjoying a meal from McDonalds (sourcing it almost exclusively to corn an overused and bizarre food product and petroleum products), producing a meal from a famous “organic” food retailer, challenging this niche industry. The third meal is a meal made from only items found on a utopian Virginian farm, and then Pollan produces a meal from only foraging. Through all these scenarios he explores, from a very basic standpoint, all the inaccuracies, misrepresentations and challenges that our food industry places on the ethic of living on the earth and sharing it with others.…

    In 1839, Charles Darwin wrote “It is remarkable that the same plant should be found on the sterile mountains of Central Chile, where a drop of rain does not fall for more than six months, and within the damp forests of the southern islands” (Chapaman). He was speaking of the potato, and its ability to adapt to a variety of climates, from the semiarid to the tropical wet. Potatoes also have high nutritional value. They supply every vitamin and mineral that a body needs except for vitamin A, vitamin D, and calcium (Chapaman). In the past, they have been eaten for the purpose of protecting against diseases such as scurvy, tuberculosis, measles and dysentery (Chapaman).…
