| Description: | FRT-101-05: What We Eat. Joyce Burnette is an economic historian who studies women's work in the past. She teaches a variety of courses, including Microeconomics, Game Theory, and Labor Economics. She lives in Crawfordsville, where she stays engaged with the community. She learned to cook largely by reading cookbooks, and she now enjoys gardening and cooking with local food. While we eat every day, we do not often stop to consider the forces that determine what we eat. In this class we will interrogate this everyday activity. Food choices reflect our individual past experiences and our culture. The food we eat makes a statement about who we are. The food available to us is determined by world history, scientific discovery, and the market. Globalization has for centuries been expanding the types of food available. Science has increased agricultural productivity and brought us new ingredients unknown to our grandparents. The food on the store shelves today has been carefully engineered and markets to maximize its appeal. All these influences come together when we sit down to eat what seems like a simple meal. |
