This is what I was talking about...

This is the article I was talking about in Geography last week. It's about Walmart and it's decision to carry more organic foods. Seems like a good idea, but you really need to think about what that means.

Future of Food

I subscribe to so many newsletters and I'm on a lot of email lists for environmental news. I get all kinds of news everyday - good and bad. It's for things I'm personally interested in and topics I enjoy teaching. Almost daily in class, I'm repeating something I've read but can never remember the exact details or where exactly I read it. So I thought I should put my blog to better use and start posting what I read here so I can access it when I'm discussing it in class. Today, I was at 7-11 and the new issue of National Geographic was there at the checkout. I haven't read National Geographic lately but I was really excited to see the cover title stating "The New Food Revolution."  This is exactly what we are doing in class right now so I bought it. Once I got home with the magazine, I was happy to read that every issue until the end of 2014 will feature stories about our food system. And this website is incredible. I'm looking forward to sharing this with my class on Monday!

Oops.

It's been a long time since I've been on the blog.  It's been a busy time at school since Spring Break. The weeks are going by so quickly. There's only 6 weeks left of classes before exams. Yikes! And we are still waiting for the weather to be better.
