In the first day of class I found myself very excited to learn more. It was really interesting hearing the points of view of everyone in the class. You never realize how personal food is until you discuss it with a huge group of people. I actually didn't even realize how helpful the reading was until I was sitting in class. The steps for discussing your opinions with others were really helpful, it such a more courteous way of discussing your opinion without letting the other person down. Along with that the argument reading was also helpful. I think it's really important to have a good argument if you very strongly believe in something that you are doing in order to get across your point to other people and sound educated while doing so.
For the second day I thought the reading was too out there for my liking. I thought that the arguments proposed in the second one were not very strong ones because they were unrealistic. He basically says we will end up dying if we don't change to this new eating life style. I think this is a pretty steep claim to be making.  But I liked what we talked about in class, how everyone has to draw a personal line of what they think is too far. I think I would draw my line at raising and eating animals on a small scale. Personally, I don't think anything is wrong with caring and raising for an animal then eating it, but I do believe that greater scale slaughter houses are horrible and people should not support them.
As for the food, I've really enjoyed my meals both days. The rice and beans was actually the same meal I eat almost everyday. Some things are mixed in that I'm cautious about, but so far everything's been tasty and I've felt really good afterward. I don't even feel that I ate that much even though it's more than I usually eat and it makes my body feel weightless, there are no discomforts. It's awesome.
