P7:Response to Pollan’s “An Animal’s Place,” the introduction to Estabrook’s Tomatoland, and the infographic by Cook.

In the three articles this time, all of them are about the food resources and materials. In "An Animal's Place", which is written by Michael Pollan, the author pointed out the relationship between human beings and animals. As people eating a lot of meat every day, they hunt animal for food. Even if some vegetarians stop eating meat from animals there are still a large number of meat requirements every day. However, animals are easy to die in the wild world, people can provide them a better place to live and feed them food. Animals also provide productions for people and it helps both of people and animal. And it seems no too bad. The second article, introduction of “On the Tomato Trail”, is about the conditions and environment of food just like tomatoes. The author shows the difference on the taste and appearance between the tomatoes in different years. Moreover, the tomatoes in the same years which are grown in different places are also different in taste and appearance and all the characteristics of the tomatoes can show the environment of the place that grows the tomatoes. In the last article, “Fowl Trouble”, Cook talked about the harm and problems of the broiler chicken in recent society. The chicken is getting bigger than those in the past. The requirement of the market leads the production of chicken into a new one, which is dangerous for the workers in the process of production and checking. Some of the workers even became disabled because of the infection. I found the most noteworthy thing is the danger of the workers because that is the problem I have never thought about and I already known the other point just like the different environment of food leads the different characteristics and the new production of food due to the market requirement in some common senses, researches and news.
