In class we looked as a picture of a lady with her children. My professor asked us to analyze the picture and try to describe what was going on. What conditions she was probably going through text, context, and subtext. I thought that it was a lady in the picture but some of the class debated that it looked like a man. I thought the family lived in a 3rd ward country, going through poverty because the house wasn't clean; there were scrapings on the wall. The baby crib was rusted and one of the baby's was naked. A light was on so I inferred that they had electricity but not water. They look as if they haven't taken a bath in a while. At the end of questioning my professor informed us that this was a family in America in present time.
We also watched the movie Food Matters. Food Matters is about how we don't get enough nutrients in our diet and that if we did we wouldn't have to rely on pharmaceutical drugs to get better when we sick. The things we eat, we don't have any idea what's exactly in it. If people would pay attention to their nutrition that there would be less sickness. Our bodies are designed to heal itself but how if we are not giving it the building blocks to do so? If you don't give your body the right things your body can’t do its job. How can you hang a picture on a wall with a nail if you don't have a hammer?
They made a point that nutritional therapy is illegal in America. Therefore to fix a sickness, doctors prescribe pharmaceutical drugs. That's because they spend billions of dollars on drug advertising that sells, and nutrition doesn't make as much.
