Socratic Seminar- Farmer in Chief by Michael Pollan

I thought this was one of the most interesting Socratic Seminars that I have ever participated on. I think what made it fun that that topic that it was on could and had a been impact on us. The article, Farmer in Chief, talked on who really need to change on what we are producing and eating. He was talking about food. But at the same time, Michael Pollan talked on bad techniques that we are actually using to produce our food. For example, the factories (if you can call food producer) that food is produced can spray a lot of pesticides and poison just so the food can look fresh and ready to eat, but is it really good for you? The main question that we answered was How Can America Go From Chemically Renowned Food To Organic? I think this was a really good question because you honestly don't know how many people can actually grow organic or even know what organic means. We came up with the answer to the question and we said that America can go organic but it would take time to realize how many "lies" we are being fed from the public. It would have to take time for America to change its ways.

This reading really helped for my senior project. Kevin Middleton and I want to make a video and raise awareness about processed food and what we can do to make the transition to make America organic.
