After Air

The discussion that we had in class turned out to be quite interesting. I hate that I missed the trip to the bread company. I feel that if I had been able to attend, I would have been able to bring more solidified facts to the table for discussion. Even still, I enjoyed what we had to say. Unfortunately, it seems that hardly any of us in the class are going to be able to make the changes that Pollan would like for us to make in our lives. Some of us already make our own bread which is great, but when it comes to fully reconnecting with our food in every way possible, none of us will succeed. I don't see that as a terrible thing. It seems unrealistic to say that a group of college students will be able to make some of the changes presented by Pollan. But, I do feel that we are all being influenced by Pollan and his "rules." Who knows what the general mindset of the class will be at the end of the semester.
