Using summary and synthesizing skills, take a stance on Eating Locally – The Locavore Movement
Create an arguable thesis
To help create a stance, think about the following:
1) Do you think that people should limit, or even eliminate entirely, foods produced in regions outside of their own?
2) What do you think of the idea that food items carry “carbon labels” listing the amount of energy expended in their production?
3) What are some possible health and food safety benefits and drawbacks to relying on food from local growers?
4) What are some of the ways that having a system in which people ate food primarily from their own areas would change life in the
U.S. and elsewhere?
