This forum will explore deeper several topics related to our food supply and food digestion.
Initial Post: For your initial forum post, pick one of the following topics.
Topic 1: (This is located on page 585 of your textbook.) Hannah, a 16-year old high school student, has just discovered that she is pregnant. At 53 and 106 lbs., she is underweight and her typical diet lacks many essential nutrients. For breakfast, she has coffee and a doughnut, if anything at all. She often skips lunch or eats chips from the vending machine. She then eats a well-rounded dinner with her family. What risks do you see in this situation for Hannah and her baby?
Topic 2: (This is located on page 656 of your textbook.) The fountain of youth remains a mystery. Many people believe a source exists that can stop the aging process, allowing youth to remain. However, your friend asserts that the fountain of youth is not a place or a particular thing but, rather, a combination of diet and lifestyle. How can she justify this claim?
Topic 3: Discuss the dietary changes needed to slow development or prevent cancer or heart disease. Find one reputable website related to the disease you picked and describe the dietary recommendations.
Your initial forum must be at least 500 words and posted by Thursday midnight EST. You need to state your thesis and support it with evidence and at least one outside, reputable reference. Your textbook is not an outside reference. Remember, there is no right or wrong.

One of your responses must be to the topic that was not your initial forum topic. Of course, you are welcome to respond to more than two posts. Your follow-up forums must be at least 250 words, posted by Sunday midnight EST.

Watch the film Bring It to the Table (screened on Tuesday during this week). You may stream it online through the library\’s subscription at this link (). Open your essay by considering the questions about advocacy and rhetorical situation in the original assignment, including:
How does \”advocacy\” or \”activism\” play a role in the film? What is being advocated, and why? In other words, what argument does the film construct for you as the audience?
How is the rhetorical situation constructed in this film? What is its purpose? Who is its audience? How does it communicate its purpose to that audience?
From here, please consider the film in light of our discussion of Stowe\’s Uncle Tom\’s Cabin. Questions you may use to frame this discussion include (but are not limited to) the following:
What might filmmaker Julie Winokur\’s reaction be to a novel like Uncle Tom\’s Cabin? What would she think about its purpose and the rhetorical strategies that it uses? Would Winokur feel that there is a place for a novel like this in American democracy today, or would she feel that it is out of place? Use specific examples from the film and novel to support your claims.
What might novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe\’s reaction be to a film like Bring It to the Table? What would she think about its purpose and the rhetorical strategies that it uses? Would Stowe feel that there was a place for a work like this in American democracy in 1851, or would she feel that it is out of place? Use specific examples from the film and novel to support your claims.
How are the messages and purposes of each work similar? How are they different? Why does this matter?

Some critics argue that Chipotle was more vulnerable to food borne illness outbreaks because of its fresh food emphasis. Review the case study and other current news regarding Chipotle outbreaks. In addition to a fresh produce focus, what other aspects make Chipotle more vulnerable to foodborne illness outbreaks, compared to other fast-casual chains?
Chipotle changed some of its cooking methods and procedures, meaning that some items are processed at a central kitchen rather than individual stores. What disadvantages and advantages arise from such a decision for Chipotle? Personally, do you feel that Chipotle made a good decision? Why or why not?
Food safety training may not change the way foodservice operators run the business. What particular aspects and practices can create a culture of food safety for each Chipotle store or other foodservice operations?
Review new food safety practices and procedures implemented by Chipotle in the wake of foodborne illness outbreaks. What particular aspects do you wish to benchmark for the future in companies you desire to work, or applied to your current working environment? Or among new food safety practices or procedures Chipotle has implemented, are there any specific procedures that other restaurant chains easily can adopt and implement? On the other hand, which practices may not be feasible or may be unrealistic in your current and/or past working setting?
The case study briefly discussed other restaurant companies who experienced similar food crises such as the 1993 Jack in the Boxs E.coli outbreak. In terms of recovery strategies and crisis management, are there any lessons Chipotle could learn from Jack in the Box? In addition to Jack in the Box, you are asked to find another hospitality organization that recently experienced a major crisis, but successfully adopted recovery strategies and crisis management practices.
Please compare and contrast Chipotles food crisis to another companys food safety crisis.
After learning Chipotles PR strategies and crisis management tactics, which do you think worked successfully and which do you consider as failures?
Research other hospitality business examples that exemplify higher standards of food safety using advanced foodservice technology. What can Chipotle and others learn from those examples?

Make sure to include in the paper: What the overall goal of the project would be. How would you sell this project to the team that will be participating in the Day of Service? What would you do/change if members of your team were not on board with the idea? What are the values that you hope to be able to pass on to others from the project?
