Pollan

Summary:
In Pollan's article, "Farmer in Chief", he argues how the food system needs to be fixed and how important this issue is. He talks about how horrible this issue is and how it effects a lot of people. This article also talks about how money has become more important than the animals and the way they are treated.

Synthesis:
Pollan's article can relate to Glenn's because they both deal with the food industry and the way animals are treated.


Thoughts:
I really enjoyed reading this letter that was written to the president. It covered a lot of important issues that needed to be talked about. I believe that we can make a change in the food industry and need to educate children about this issue. It is important to get healthier foods for children in schools so that these children can be healthy.

I liked this quote because it suggests that sustainable agriculture will be a lot easier to apply.	“To grow sufficient amounts of food using sunlight will require more people growing food—millions more.”
We devalued farming and see it as not a very good job anymore.	“As a society we devalued farming as an occupation and encouraged the best students to leave the farms for better jobs in the city.”
Even though it might not be appreciated, we should still try and find a more sustainable food source.	“Making available more healthful and more sustainable food does not guarantee it will be eaten, much less appreciated or enjoyed.”
Reforming the food system is something that people should care more about because it is an important issue.	"Reforming the food system is not inherently a right-or-left issue.”
I agree with quote and believe that we should begin teaching children at a young age the importance of this issue.	"Changing the food culture must begin with our children, and it must begin in the schools."
