Food

I choose documentaries as the main focus for my cultural impact paper because documentaries have always fascinated me. So I'm using my last blog to talk about what documentaries have done for me. I have used documentaries to learn and see new things and actually see them not just read about in book. And I even though I don’t know what part of film I want to go into yet, I have definitely consider documentaries partly because I know what an impact they can make on people's lives. Food Inc. is probably my favorite documentary and it made an impact on my life. I remember watching it for the first time and realizing there was so much about our food I didn’t know. I had always wanted to be a vegetarian but watching Food Inc. was when I said, yup I need to do this.

Speaking of food, the other day I was thinking back on the course so far and I just thought, Professor Leeper is like that parent who makes you try a new food, because parents are always like “You can’t say you don’t like it if you haven’t tried it.” And Professor Leeper shows us all these new thing and bring up new points on stuff I will admit I would be like hmm I didn’t think I would like that clip or genre but I guess I do. This class definitely made me realize there is more to media then the mainstream and I found it interesting.
