Writing project Part 1 (Memo) - Essay Example

Teacher
 You November 04, Ted Talk about “What’s wrong with school lunches” 
 For
my
third
writing
project, I
have
chosen
the
topic
of
TED Talk entitled “Whats wrong with school lunches”. The talk was delivered by Ann Cooper and she spoke about the dramatic changes on the quality of food that our children eat in school and she also exposed the institutions behind this change. 
I
chose
this
topic
because this is very relevant today especially to students like us.

We are also affected by the issue raised by Ann Cooper because I too eat in our student canteen and I begin to notice that the kind of food that they are serving there is not exactly healthy. Currently
I
am
a
student
in
_____(your major or subject on the blank) and the topic that I am discussing is not only relevant to me but to all students regardless of the course they are taking because we all eat in our cafeterias. This issue had been around for quite some time already and there seems no action done to correct the situation.

Raising the issue even through an academic paper will help raise awareness on the issue and hopefully, the kind of food we eat in our cafeteria will improve.I attached the source of Ann Cooper’s talk in Ted for the whole speech to be appreciated as well as related literature and a documentary that will provide more depth about Ann Cooper’s assertion. The related literature is about an article about Michael Pollan’s “Omnivore Dilemma” where it explained how our source of our food is becoming a factory and is no longer grown the way it used to be.

Worst, industrial farm factory and the use of GMOs are even packaged to be a better food source than organic farming. This is supplemented by the documentary film of “Food Inc” where it provided a vivid display of the transformation of our food from naturally grown to factorization courtesy of big business.
