Talk:Food, Health & Law

Class Discussion Board

Hello,

I came across the text for the recently proposed food safety modernization act of 2009. I figured you might interested in reading it since we've been discussing food safety and regulation. Here's the link for it:

An interesting article I read recently: &lt;a href="http://law.uoregon.edu/org/olr/archives/87/dillard.pdf"&gt;http://law.uoregon.edu/org/olr/archives/87/dillard.pdf&lt;/a&gt;

Upcoming workshop in the area... April 3-5: &lt;a href="http://celdf.org/DemocracySchool/tabid/60/Default.aspx"&gt;http://celdf.org/DemocracySchool/tabid/60/Default.aspx&lt;/a&gt;

A 64 minute (google) video about the Paradox of Choice. Skip to ~23 minutes in to see the part about supermarket displays. &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6127548813950043200"&gt; Video&lt;/a&gt;

The End.

Hey all it's Jeff. The readings for tomorrow touch on the gendered creation of bodies and the cultural significance fat has in the context of AIDS. The book below has further information for anybody who is interested.

Atkins, Dawn ed. 1998 Looking Queer: Body Image and Identity in Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender Communities. Binghamton:The Haworth Press, Inc

Specifically I would recommend the essays "Fatness and the Feminized Man" and "Reps".

I've also got a wealth of articles about self-objectification as well as the creation of male bodies so if you're looking for info on any of that I can point you in the right direction.
