Continuing Work on Blogs 15-18 (5/4)

Please continue working on blog entries 15-18. Blog 15 must be finished by the end of today, as I will send a list with lists to your blogs to another class tomorrow morning so that the students can respond to you on Friday.

Material that may help you develop Blog 17: "The End of Overeating"
"How to Make Oat meal...Wrong" by Mark Bittman. This article exposes the "healthy" choices offered by McDonald's.

Material that may help you develop Blog 18: "Where the Whale Be at?"
"An Outer Borough Drought" by Curtney Gross. This article discusses the discrepancy between what kinds of food are available for wealthy New Yorkers versus " lower median income" New Yorkers. It also includes the Going to Market: New York City's Neighborhood Grocery Store and Supermarket Shortage report. Slides 8-21 are particularly interesting.

Just fun? A humorous look at the connection between race, class, and food. Who are today's fast food workers?
