Q Keep track of what you eat for 5 consecutive days to get a sample of your eating behavior. This is a link to a sample table to use Actions (you can create your own if you prefer). Keep track of the day, meal, the meal type (fast food, frozen, boxed, prepared, etc.), approximate cost and where (geographic area) you think the food was produced. You will not be graded on accuracy (a best guess is fine), just the fact that you completed the tasks of the assignment. The purpose of the assignment is to get you thinking about the food you eat and the impact your food choices make as well as what you know about the food you eat (i.e. where it was grown). To set the tone for the assignment view the slides from the book Hungry Planet by Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio by clicking this link Actions who traveled the world documenting that most basic of human behaviors — what we eat. Their project, “Hungry Planet,” depicts everything that an average family consumes in a given week–and what it costs. Their results give viewers a peek into kitchens from Norway to Kuwait, and to raise awareness about how environments and cultures influence the cost and calories of the world’s dinners. PreviousNext
