After watching Food Inc., we were told as a class that we were to complete a collaborative research project in a group of no more then three people. Myself, Ashley, and Christie decided that we would work together to complete the project. After forming the group a difficult decision had to be made. We had to come up with a topic. As a group we decided that our primary question to research was "How accurate is McDonald's advertising healthy food match their menu?" Once we decided on that we came up with 5 more questions to research in order to better our conclusion. These questions included:
1. How accurate is McDonald's advertising healthy foods match the menu?
2. How did corn become one of the most used crops?
3. How to tell if food is really organic from the label?
4. Where does Kevin's law stand today?
5. How are other fast food companies trying to push healthier foods?
We also had to collaborate to come up with questions to ask during our Oral History interview. As a group we decided that we would interview my dad, if he agrees to it. Our decision was made because my father has grown up on a small family farm. He has raised both crops and livestock during his life. It seemed like a perfect fit. We came up with a set of 10 possible questions to ask my dad. They included:
1. How old were you when you started working on the farm?
2. How important is it to know where your food comes from?
3. Do you believe McDonald’s is actually growing “farm fresh” food?
4. How has working on a farm impacted your eating habits?
5. Do you eat at McDonald’s?
6. What do you usually order when you eat at McDonald’s?
7. Do you think the meat at McDonald’s is really all white meat?
8. Do you think other fast food companies will start choosing a healthier menu?
9. What do you feed the animals on your farm?
10. Is your farm organic?
The above questions are just a rough draft. As the interview takes place some questions may be eliminated and more questions could be added. It all depends on how the interview starts out.
