B. Jonathan Safran Foer
C. Jonathan Sagran Foer Webinar
D. October 28, 2014
E.The following Webinar is persuasive, funny, and informative. In the webinar, Foer attempts to explain any unanswered questions that were not explained in his book. The webinar possessed more of Foer's knowledge that ranged from how much a burger would actually cost, to how around 70 percent of food poisoning is caused by animal agriculture. Foer's answers to many of the questions are concise.
F. One moment I can remember from the webinar was when Foer shared his thoughts on the group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of animals). Foer continued on by saying that PETA had good intentions, but they presented them in a very harsh way. I agree with this, because PETA shows very harsh graphic material in order to catch public attention.
Fi. I can also recall when Foer said that it would have been impossible for 1/2 of Americans to be vegetarians 10 years ago. I understand this fact due to the lack of vegetarians. Currently, vegetarians are becoming more common in this carnivore world. Certainly, the webinar made me think about converting my eating habits in order to avoid animal agriculture. He also said that swine flu is due to the process of animal agriculture.
Fii. The third thing was the government is not in a state in which they would want to fix the produce in the United States. This allows companies to sell us good tasting food that lacks nutrition which leads to why so many people in the United States are obese. About 1/3 of people are obese.
2. This presentation can relate to much of my life because eating is such a main part of human needs.
As i have said before, the presentation managed to spark an interest in what I eat and how it's made. Jonathan Safran Foer attempts to take a very uncomfortable topic and manages to spread word of it.
