The document discusses several topics including the amount of time spent on news stories and how public attention spans affect news coverage; taking a scientific approach to understanding food and ensuring the public has access to factual information about food rather than opinions; criticizing a company that removed farmers from farming through engineered crops; and briefly mentioning indulgence and pleasures like good food, wine, and conversation accompanied by smoke.

2. Something that has always marveled me is the amount of time spent on news
stories, some short, some unbelievably long. Focusing on ideas of a national or
international attention span towards certain subjects and documenting that
through how they are featured on various news outlets.
Also a look into how long after something was in the news it becomes
“forgotten”.

4. An approach to food and cooking from a scientific stand point, what is it about
food that we do not know, what are we constantly assuming. There is a vaast
amount of information here that needs to be communicated to the general
public but is often confused with so many opinion based sources.

6. Soo much wrong here..so much to say yet very few in our class may recognize
the logo or even the name. This is a company that single handedly took the
farmer out of the farming business. Their engineered high yield crops have
created a scar on this and many other countries that can be seen from space.

8. Indulgence, and the finer things in life. Good food, good wine, good
conversation. A quite conversation in a room where smoke dances above your
head. The things that are bad for you yet feel just so good.
