Biro: Chicken Run- The Prison-Like Lives of Livestock

Chicken Run The Prison-Like Lives of Livestock By Sami Biro Introduction: Do dogs deserve the rights humans receive? Do fish or chickens? We humans seem to see our rights as the most valuable ones, and anything that is not human does not get the same rights. If I'm honest, not even all people receive the same rights. Livestock and other farmed animals are treated horrendously in the food industry. From mutilation to force feeding animals until they die from overeating, the atrocities committed in the food industry are overlooked by lay people. If we were to see humans treated in the same way, there would be a great deal more uproar. When it comes to the rights of farm animals, there are two main schools of thought surrounding the discussion- the rights view and utilitarianism. The rights view is often called an "abolitionist" view since it aims to stop all slaughtering of animals for food. They argue that animals have rights, and that it is inherently wrong t...

Biro: Fear Factor and Food- Where Do We Draw the Line?

Fear Factor and Food Where Do we Draw the Line? Introduction: In my Food and Communication class, we discussed how various cultures define what is "edible." In the U.S., we think lobsters and crabs are edible but spiders sure as heck are not, even though they all come from the arachnid family and are close cousins. Spiders and crabs aren't all that different, and yet one is a fine cuisine and the other is seen as the nastiest of nasty. In this post, I would like to explore the idea of "edible" vs. "inedible," particularly from the perspective of U.S. citizens, and look into why we have such strong aversions to foods that are commonly ate in other cultures. To illustrate some of the extreme aversions we have in the U.S., I will use the T.V. show Fear Factor.   Our Aversions, As Expressed in Fear Factor: Iraqi Camel Spider. This GIF was found in the BuzzFeed article. In Fear Factor,  contestants are forced to do things that either terri...

Butter, Local Foods, and the French Paradox - Why caring about our food is critical for the future.

What are the main foods you think of in relation to the American Diet? Sugary drinks, packaged pastries, and fast food, like the chicken nugget , are probably what comes to mind. The main ingredients for this diet, thanks to government subsidies, has fostered an environment where people eat fast food to stretch their dollar. This same environment led to Dr. Eckstein asking the class if it is more expensive to eat locally and prepare your own foods, or to eat out. I was one of the only students to say that it is more cost effective to eat locally, and to prepare your own food; this is probably because I live on Whidbey Island , a foodie's paradise. Specifically, I live on the South End  of the island, where there is only one fast food establishment, a Dairy Queen, and this DQ is ridiculously expensive (It costs $10.00 for a chicken strip basket, the least expensive item on the menu is $1.50, for a kids ice cream cone, and the cheapest food item is $3.99). Whidbey has lots ...
