Discussion question

Organic foods p. 229

1. Read the “Thinking Critically” text box exercise as found in your text 

book. 

2. Perform the four reason exercise as described in the exercise on a piece of 

scratch paper. Then, watch the Penn and Teller video here. (Note: There 

is a small amount of offensive language in this clip. Also, this clip sometimes ‘disappears’ and comes back. Watch the board for updates.)

3. What can you understand from this video in terms of the power of dominance structures?

Can you offer explanations as to why you might think this is? Would this convince you or turn you away on making a decision about the benefits of organic foods after viewing this video (be specific and link this to this week’s two chapters)?
