For my weekly blog project I will point up the differences between the American way of treatment of animals compared to the Muslim way. Each week my readers will be educated with a lot of awareness of the food they consume. I will have comparisons of the way animals are kept, the workers, the way they are slaughtered, the conditions in which they live and so on so forth. I will try to provide pictures that show difference and maybe interviews from people in the related fields.
This project relates to our theme of the class a lot. I know that I am a purchaser of Halal food. I do not in any circumstances buy or eat any other kinds of meat. On the other hand, most of my classmates buy or eat the meat that these big American corporations grow. Through the knowledge I have of Halal food, I want to convince people to buy organic meat, which is a lot similar to Halal food in ways it is being grown (but not slaughtered the same way). I am learning a lot about how American technology and race for the best led to such harsh conditions of animals. I want to show that even though there is more faster need of meat, it can still be grown humanely.
With this weekly blog project I hope to learn a lot about food and compare to the one I consume. I know not everyone is aware of such kind of details of the food they eat too. Maybe with such a public platform as this blog website, together our whole class could make a difference to the food industry. Just like the African proverb goes, “If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a closed room with a mosquito.” Finally, I hope I can teach atleast something to others as well and help them become conscious of their food if not bring a revolution in the food industry. After all, “We are what we eat!”

ReplyDeleteHELLO sumaiya ,
ReplyDeletei agree with going to the oragnic store and buying the fresh meats veggies etc. but sometimes organics can be really pricey and some people just get whatever is closer to them . it would of been great if you could of got just a little more into detail because the first paragraph and 2nd really got me thinking about these big american stores and halal meat .
:)
Hey Sumaiya!!
ReplyDeleteI think your project it's very interesting and informative. Also well designed, while I was reading your project it really caught my attention and I agree with you, because all people should change their eating habits or at least know where does their food come from and how was their life conditions and death. Your blog project will be great and I think your audience will learn a lot.
Steph ;D
