Jonathan Safran Foer Webinar Reaction Assignment

A.   The category of the video and excerpt from book "A Case for Eating Dogs" is informative/persuasive because the author is trying to make you become aware of the topic for eating dogs or any animals for that case.

B.   The name of the presenter is Jonathan Safran Foer.

C.   The title of the video is Jonathan Safran Foer Webinar.

D.   My class watched it on October 28, 2014.

E.   The video we watched contained the author of "Eating Animals" Jonathan Safran Foer who held a live webinar to talk or ask him any questions we had on his book. He talked about the research he did to make his book, the fact that his children are in fact vegetarians, and the poultry industry and how improving their produce is not there highest goal at the moment.

F.   1.  One of the moments that I found educational was the fact that Safran Foer said was that it is possible that 1/2 of Americans could become vegetarians in maybe 10 years or so. I choose this because a lot can happen in 10 years or more. It can be a time of improvement and change or not so much change because we are just so used to the way we live now.

      2.  A second moment that I found educational as well was the fact that people can enjoy eating meat when they know about the animal cruelty that is happening but they choose to ignore it. People fail to see the fact about how the entire process is for the meat to end up on our table. We don't really sink it in and become aware because we are just so used to it being the way it is.


      3.  The third moment that I found important was that the US. Corporation is not really moving forward to improve their produce. They are not really trying to give the products the nutrients it should have to be healthy. Instead they are making products that we like and taste really good so they have us coming back for more. Few people look at the back of the nutrition facts and just take what they know taste well to them. Corporations do this because that how they know there products will sell.
