For those who know, I have been taking a food security equity course this past semester. For those who don't know and are sitting there asking "what is food security?" I afraid I can't answer that! But what I can give you in the UN deffintion
Food security is the need for adiquete amounts of safe, nutrious, culturally approproate foods" It's the idea that food is a right. Makes sence right!
So our class of nine women and our male prof are colabertely working together to write this one paper. We are to write scenes, like a tv show. As Wayne says every week "show don't tell" . . . he is working with nine fourth year equity studies studens that have been brainwahed into accedemia and telling us "this isn't the way things work outside of this institution". Talk about distroying our nicely defined illusions. This process has been interesting forcing us to be creative. Luckly the men we are working with are making it easy to write these scenes, their mysogony is so blantent that we have much to work with. I will share more about this project, but for now I will give you two of the scene titles:
"It is not realism that will give you wrinkles; it is your utopian vision of reality that will cause those wrinkles to appear"
"We are the pimple on the ass of a very large elephant"
yes people these are direct quotes :)
