Something I want to bring up before the next class session though...I think it might be interesting to focus the direction of our discussion a bit more intentionally. We brought up a lot of great and intriguing ideas, but there were so many of them and a bit all over the place. I feel like if we want to gain a comprehensive understanding of food politics, developing the reading or interesting issues in depth would be an important thing to keep in mind.
Another thing, what do we want to purpose of this blog to be (also in light of this being openly read by other viewers)? Something to talk about next class~

I'd like this blog to be a space where we could continue and extend conversations that we started in class, or pursue topics that we couldn't/didn't get around to in class. Not in a structured or particularly guided way... I want to do something creative and collective with everybody in our class besides working on the syllabus. I would be fine with people posting whatever they want to. I want to know how everybody thinks about food in whatever form that happens to take.
I liked the way that our conversation played out on Tuesday. It felt more like the kind of conversation that friends could have than the kind of conversation that takes place in a classroom. I don't know if I want the role of the facilitator to be dragging the class from having the conversation that develops organically to the one we're supposed to have.
