Food issues

Introduction

Food issues
In this theme we address the issue of food.
With popular cooking programmes on our TV screens all the time, everyone is, or can be a chef.
We take photos of food and post daily on social media for our friends to check out our breakfast.
We have enough food, we actually have more than enough food, I mean, how often do you actually eat up everything in the fridge?
But it wasn’t always like that and for many people in the world, it still isn’t a land of plenty.

What are we going to do?
This theme looks at some of these 21st century food issues. We look at some facts. There are 9 billion people on the planet and by 2050 that number will have risen to 11 billion. On the one hand, this begs the question how can our planet feed everyone? On the other hand, we all know we throw food away.
So, what can be done to solve this problem?

So let’s begin!

Have fun!

Finishing touch

Project: Feed the world

A presentation

You are going to do a presentation about the way social media can affect and change food choices.

  1. Find some images. Create two collages - one showing food in a positive light, and the other showing food in a negative way.
  2. You are going to explain your choices to your classmates. Consider these questions:
    • What criteria did you look for when you were selecting your positive and negative images? (e.g. words, internet search, hashtag .. .others?)
      What, for you, constitutes positive? And what is negative?
    • What are the differences between your negative and positive collage of the media portraying food choices?
    • Are words/colour/size the same or different in both collages? How are they different? Why?
    • On social media is an image of someone losing weight considered a positive influence on food choices or negative, why?
    • Imagine that you work for a marketing company. You have been asked to think of some ways to market a new brand of hotdog.
      How would you promote this hotdog on social media? (e.g. colours used, hashtags, imagery).

See below how your presentation will be judged.
