Talk it out

After watching the movie, Food Inc. I interviewed my dad on what he thought of the movie.

1. It made him feel helpless because he cannot change what he sees wrong with the food system that is controlled by about 4 companies.
2. He agrees with the concepts of the movie and was convinced due to the compelling evidence that what they were saying was true.
3. He can apply these concepts to the real world by shopping at Farmers Markets, Trader Joes, Fresh and Easy, not eating at fast food restaurants, and help change our food system by showing Food Inc. to everyone he knows.

"I mean, like, suppose you're studying tidal forces. You don't raise your hand to ask if it's true that crazy people tend to be crazier during the full moon."

This quote really struck me as interesting because it is very true. Most of the time, if you ask and off topic question, you will be looked at as if you are an outsider or you are crazy. You may also be looked at as if you were not paying attention to the topic. If you ask a question that the teacher has a hard time answering, you also will be shunned upon... This was very true at my old middle school.
