The land culture of the Ents in The Lord of the Rings differ greatly from the orcs, thus, providing readers a view of Tolkien’s perspective of agrarianism and current culture. These relationships to land correlate to modern views of the land. In the book The Good Food Revolution, the author, Will Alan, has similar views of land.

The book In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan talks about the Western diet. The book includes an experiment in 1982, designed by a nutrition researcher Kerin O’Dea, to see if temporarily twisting the way Westerners eat might also change people’s health problems. And a group of Aborigines participated in the experiment. All of them were overweight and diabetic. They left the civilization and returned to the bush. Men and women only could hunted and gathered foods. They stayed on the coast and inland location for seven weeks, their diet mainly included seafood, turtle, yams, figs and bush honey. The result was positive. After seven weeks returning to the origin, all of these Aborigines had lost weight and their blood pressure dropped. In addition,
One of my favorite episodes of the television show, "The Simpsons", begins with Marge, the mother, serving her family a dinner of unusually large, genetically modified foods. Shortly after dinner is served, one of the potatoes eats a carrot. Although this example is comedic hyperbole, it is still an excellent illustration of the public perception of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as dangerous "Frankenfoods". This perception is out of touch with the reality of GMOs and runs contrary to a large body of scientific evidence that indicates that GMOs are safe for people and our environment.
Instead of feeding cattle and chicken with what grow naturally (grass and grain). Chicken and cattle are fed with antibiotics (which forces viruses/bacteria to mutate into something more deadly to humans), growth hormone (Roxarsone), animal by- products (blood, feces, processed feathers) and “rendered meat” (even from “downer” cows, which are not able to walk and at high risk of BSE.) The objective of feeding animals with these ingredients is to ensure the food is affordable to everyone, high in nutritional values and disease-free. However, the article strongly criticizes the costly price humans pay from feeding animals with these inorganic/ridiculous materials. “In 2000, FDA concluded that Roxarsone had spawned drug resistance; and FDA had identified some of the rendered meat being fed to cattle is contaminated with mad cow disease. Consequently, humans are
When thinking about food, is it possible that food can dictate our daily lives? Alan Ackerman, a theater scholar, discusses that people “act out” in public areas. Alan is explaining that people in different scenarios will act differently to certain things. This principle can also be used with food as well. When going through our days people have to eat food, but there has to be a reason behind what we eat. People have different lifestyles that involve eating only certain foods whether it be medically or personal preference. However, each individual meal has a different mindset for the outcome. For example, when I am going to class for a couple of hours and know I will not be able to eat for a few hours, I will eat a larger meal to keep
