The 11th Hour

In this blog I will write and review the documentary film  The Eleventh Hour.  The Eleventh Hour was created in 2007 and it is produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio. The main focus of the film  The Eleventh Hour is to tell the world about what's happening with the earth's national environment.  The film interviews from many people, from all round the world. The Eleventh Hour deals with a lot of the earth's environmental issues. I want to focus on the environmental issue on our dependence of fossil fuels such as oil. Fossil fuels are not an renewable source of energy and with it's use increase the Co2 in our air. According to V.Jay said, that oil increases the Co2 levels, in which pollute not only the air bu the sea too. This film can be connected to the food system and the topics we talked about in class.  The food system uses fossil fuels not only for the  transportation of food but, also fossil fuels help make the plastic containers that many food comes in. The larger and more centralize the food system gets, the more oil we need to use to keep the system running.

Blog number Four-The end

In the article The end of Overeating written by Dr David A Kessler, he writes about the psychological connection between  sugar,fat and salt and our human eating habits. He writes that humans do not overeat because we have a link of willpower. Instead Dr Kessler writes that overeat because, we are addicted to fat,salt and sugar. Over the decades our access to  fat,salt and sugar in our food has grown. He writes "food had become more readily available in the 190s and 1980s"(Kessler 6). He also writes that people have a "bliss point"(Kessler 19). In which people will only find food pleasurable after a set amount of sugar, salt and fat. When pleasurable foods, we continue to eat more it. 
        Dr Kessler surely right in my opinion about the connections humans have between fat,salt and sugar and our eating habits. I am a perfect example of his theory. As I am writing this blog, I am having a box of pizza. I am almost finish with my pizza and I am still  not satisfied with my hunger. Sometimes for me it feels like pizza goes in and out my body. Pizza has a lot of salt and fat and since I like this pizza, I will  continue to buy it. 
       With Dr Keesler theory can be connected to  Cafo system. The Cafo system needs a strong continued demand in order to keep functioning. The greater  demand for Meat, chicken,fish,eggs, pork and turkey, the greater demand for Cafo output. The food companies will continue to spend billions of dollars find other our bliss points.What this means is the greater continue of our food addictions are, more we continue to feed the Cafo's.
