These gardens, which are basically agricultural markets, serves as a way to find and serve food that has been directly cared for by its patrons, who are the same people that end up with a meal from these gardens. Rather than go to a supermarket and have no idea where any of the produce came from or how it was made, community gardens serve in its self reliance that a community can trust where its food sources are coming from. Its goals are to not only to protest against food corporations but to also find a way to increase employment and education in its members. Community gardens find a way
When people do this, they take food away from people who really need it. People who need food would be able to get much more if people didn’t take what they didn’t need. The injustice here is that people don’t get background checks periodically after their first one. This makes it so that they can get free food for as long as they want even when they don’t need

Small farmers benefit from consumers who choose them over Stop & Shop’s aisles of imports, and these small farmers are getting help from the government. When you buy local more money stays in the community. This would not be the case however if you bought from a big food chain which sends the money out all over the place. For local business owners, the money that is spent locally will eventually find its way back to them which in return helps strengthen the local economy and helps local businesses thrive and grow. While some argue that buying local threatens small farmers elsewhere in the world, they ignore that if everyone bought local food, everyone’s local economies would improve.
Challman 1 Ben Challman Daniel Hurley English 102 October 21, 2012 Insights Into the Meaning of “To Fashion a Text” Annie Dilliard’s, “To Fashion a Text,” is a brief glimpse into the writing and creative process used while she wrote “An American Childhood.” In it she details some of the creative processes, self realizations, and craft involved in writing her memoir. Beginning simply with that, the “Beginning,” she starts by saying, “It isn’t an autobiography, and it isn’t ‘memoirs.’ I wouldn’t dream of writing my memoirs; I’m only forty years old.” (Dillard 143) With this she begins to tell us how the book took shape initially. How she supplemented the tales of her childhood with the necessary historical backgrounds that shaped the world around her. All the while detailing truths and revelations she encountered along the way. Though Annie Dilliard’s descriptions of craft and the writing process seem scattered and loosely connected at first, overall her piece is artfully composed in order to exemplify how the writing of a memoir takes its form.

Even though fast food is all around us, parents have the control of teaching their children healthy eating habits. Parents not the fast food companies, not the governments are in the best position to stop
Because of their unhealthy food Choices and misplaced priorities, they purchase the types of food that are not nutritional for their families. For instance, unfortunately under the current food stamp program, there is absolutely no stipulated regulation that forbids benefit recipients from purchasing a certain kind of food for themselves or their household, even though the basic nature of the program is to aid individuals and families maintain a healthy balanced diet by bringing about better nutrition through the food stamp program. Under the food stamp program people can basically buy any kind of food they want as long as it is not a hot food such as from a restaurant or fast food. That being said, one topic that pops up several times seems to indicate a concerned against individuals who use their food stamps benefits to buy large quantities of food with limited nutritional value, and also those who use food stamps benefits to buy foods like soda, chips, candies and then use their personal cash to purchase lottery tickets, cigarettes, alcohol and some non-food
In today’s society, people follow strict folkways that they were taught growing up that we call the “right” way of doing things. Folkways are norms for routine and casual interactions, the line between right and rude. (68) We don’t get too close to other people unless invited or help ourselves to someone else’s belongings because that’s not the way that we have been taught. In our experiment, we went into a grocery store and fast food restaurant. Instead of paying with dollar bills, like most people do, we paid in pennies.
It also gave them the ability to teach others how to grow crops so they can live in America without starving. The Europeans that colonized America benefitted from the knowledge of the Native Americans because they did not know how to find their own food. Before the Native Americans taught the Europeans how to grow their own food, they were eating whatever they could get their hands onto. The Europeans took advantage of the Native Americans and took over their territory. Understanding the terrain was a crucial element to learn because they would know where to grow crops, find animals to eat and know where safety is.
Before these questions are ultimately answered it’s important to get a few definitions out of the way. Judgement refers to the forming of an opinion estimate notion or conclusion as from circumstances presented to the mind. Aesthetics refers to beauty and the work of art. Therefore an aesthetic judgment would thus be the formation of an idea or opinion based on beauty. As the question states, there are other types of judgement, such as political, legal, and social; in this context therefore one needs to juxtapose aesthetics judgement against these.
