Dear drawing students.
I established this blog last fall for the drawing class. Most of you are likely more ardent bloggers than I am! However, it occurs to me that his might be a god forum for you to post your thoughts about the article we're basing mini drawing #1 upon.
So lets hear some thoughts and get some discussion going!
So I ask you; how might reading the article regarding the real cost of cheap food influence your food choices in the future. What are the pros and cons in your estimation?

For me, the problem is taking care of itself. The quality of cheap food is so bad and quantities are getting so small, that I find myself hating to settle for them unless absolutely necessary. The meat in the grocery store looks more and more fat and sickly, so I pay a little more for the leaner or organic quality. On the flip side, I am not nor never will be a vegetarian. I will eat meat no matter how much that chicken or cow suffers. They are only food in my mind. I am more upset by such things as the cereal aisle in the grocery store. We are such convenience consumers now. Do we really truly need 500 brands and flavors of anything to choose from? How much of that ends up in a dumpster? The article contends that the Earth can no longer sustain our consumption. I wonder what percentage of that consumption figure is actually waste. How much corn is in the landfill right now?
