I think food is a subject that everyone has a vested interest in, whether you love to cook it or eat it food is some thing people have gathered over since the dawn of time.Me personally i love to cook i have been cooking ever since i can remember so i have a lot of information.For my observational i would talk to owners of restaurants I've worked and talk to the chefs behind the lines,also talk to food purveyors , manager at save-a-lot. I could also talk to some of the student in culinary at BCC or Diman. Then for the argument i could talk about how the amazon jungle is being flattened to raise cattle for MC Donald's,also how food is being cooked on a molecular level now in labs instead of the traditional way.How food is injected with all kinds of chemicals, price,There are other arguments, observations, and personal things as well.

I was hoping/figuring you'd settle on food for a theme--it should work very well for you with all of your experience. Lots of good ideas for ethnographic and argumentative essays as well.
ReplyDeleteYeah i figured it was the best theme for me to write about, although i think crime and punishment would have also been a very good topic.I have a view of our justice system that i would have liked to get across.
