DIET FOR AMERICA

Watch all 8 videos in the Diet for a New America series (the U.N. Livestock video is optional), and carefully read the text in Unit 6 in our textbook on pages 31 - 32. Our topic this week is investigation of the truth, so why have I asked you to watch videos about diet in order to begin to explore this topic?

The chapter talks about searching for the truth but not the superficial truth, it means to go beyond that to explore the world that surround us and how is it working, the documentary talks about a lot of aspects we know not completely or that we don’t wanna know or that we deny because we cannot change that behaviors.

truth is the base of everything, and as individuals searching for opportunities to make changes is our dutty to inform everybody about the truth because we are a fundamental part in that processes that are killing species and also that are destroying completely the environment around us.

Investigating the truth is a twofold purpose, it must necessarily be based on an accurate understanding and a mature posture to accept the reality we are in, these truths help us to delineate the beginning of a path in which we should walk and live in, this path should be always a learning path but not also for our life but for others who are going in the wrong paths and to show them how things are…

We should change a lot in our ways of living because we are the most important part in that huge destruction to environment and also to ourselves because we don’t realize that everything we do has a consequence in our lives and in the ones around us.

What relationships can you find between the videos and the reading?

The relationships are in every line the chapter has because the truth is inevitable we are going to know it sooner or later, and when that moment may come it can be too late but because of our fault, because we participate in that massacre to the environment, to ourselves and to the future generations.

What do these relationships imply about our role as individuals in our society?

It implies us to learn to have at least a little or small GREEN MIND that can give us directions and make us think before doing something, also to be more mature and stop blaming others for the destruction the world is facing, it has to teach us better ways of leaving and not only that but to join efforts to be better each day that comes and also to be not afraid of the truth, only to be strong and perseverant in order to change it or avoid it in the future.
