Week 3: Climate Doubt and Food Justice

In the Industrial Food System, it shows the 9 steps of the food system, which consist of: growing process, harvesting, transporting, processing, packaging, wholesaling, retailing, eating, and disposing of. In First Food Backgrounder, it talks about the world hunger myths and their response to the myths. The response is technically just solutions to the myths or opposing thoughts on them. In Internet Blogs, Polar Bears, and Climate Change Denial by Proxy, it speaks about how the Arctic ice is starting to become rare and go extent in which that would certainly decrease homes for animals such as polar bears. It also speaks on how climate deniers- people who don't believe that climate change is an issue- try to ignore this fact. In Cool dudes: The denial of climate change among conservative white males in the United States, it talks about how white males are more likely to endorse climate change denialists just basing off the fact that they self-report that they know about global warming.  Talking and Doing Sankofa, it discusses how growing food on fam was a Sankofa thing and how it helps with climate justice because you will know how your food is grown and processed. 


I believe that these sources could be a little broader. I think they were very short and I would have liked to know more about each of the sources that were presented. I did see though, the fact that food justice is a huge part of finding a solution to climate change. I also feel like everyone is a climate denier in some way because this has been an issue, but no one addressed it until they saw proof of it or it affected their lives in a way. It made me sad about how the polar bear species are becoming extinct because of climate change. Climate change is melting the ice and it makes it hard for the polar bears to stay alive, Since polar bears are a species and they prey  on other animals and get preyed on, it messes up the food chain, which makes it hard for us to have certain food, but if we grow our food we are one step closer to beating climate change.
