Blog entry #7: Fresh

Fresh


Nick Standifer
    In the documentary fresh it goes through many different parts of the rural farming system today. It gives us an in detail look into the current rural and industrial agricultural setting. Food is important for everyone so it is good for us to know where it comes from. This film helps walk us through that. Today I will be talking about my thoughts and views, as well as an analysis, of this eye opening documentary, Fresh.

    The purpose of this film was to really bring a light onto the current farming ecosystem. It walks you through how your food is grown and really brought to the table. It highlights the importance of healthier products for the consumer. This film highlights the predatory nature of the farming industry. 

    This film helped me to realize how awful the meat industry is in particular. A lot of these animals just get trashed and fed things that they shouldn't. In the documentary they go on to say how cow feed has started to have cow poop and carcasses in it. One quote that really stuck out to me was "Let's treat the herbivore like an herbivore first and then the other things will fall into place." -Joel Salatin. This quote really helps to drive in the point that we shouldn't feed this junk to our cows. 

    This film does a spectacular job highlighting the awful industry we call the agricultural setting in America. It has brought awareness to me that I need to be more careful of what i'm putting into my body. The way that it blends this awareness along with a great job of informing the viewer of the process local farms use to make sure your food is good to eat. I hope this movie inspires change in others like it inspired me.

What blogs appealed to me. (Practice Blog entry)

Image
      Hello my name is Nicholas Standifer and I was looking at blogs today  when two blogs caught my eye. On one hand, Billboard struck me out of curiosity and seemed to call my name in an intriguing manner. On the other hand was a blog that struck me in pitiful way. Almost as if they were the two opposite sides of a magnet. One pulling me in while the other pushed me away. Today I wanted to talk about the differences and my opinion on the Billboard blog and the TMZ blog     First, I will start with the blog that I liked, a.k.a the billboard . The billboard first of all had a topic that really appeals to me, which is music. Another thing that I liked besides the topic was the simple, yet still fun background and organization of the blog. The format seemed to be professional/casual. I can tell because there were many ads to make money and the reason I was thinking casual it because there is a lot of opinionated works in this blog. The purpose that I found of...

Entry #1: Why golf could be the next thing you do.

      Have you had too much free time on your hands lately? Do you feel like your life is just wasting away on a stupid phone that the average American is spending 5 hours a day on ? Do you feel like you need to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather we've had in Arizona lately, but then your plan stalls out when you can't find what you should even do outside. I had the same problem about 9 months ago. I would try to take walks and other activities, but I always felt like I wanted to see and do more, then I found golf.      Today, I wanted to tell you a little about the amazing sport of golf and why you may want to give it a shot. My first reason is that every golf course is different. Every single golf course you go to will have a different game every single time. No matter how many golf courses you go to you can find another unique golf course. The sport is also super adaptive to people of all skill. In golf there is a item called a handicap which de...

Blog Entry number 2: The trend of people buying gold.

Image
    In this blog I talk about trending things in the world currently. I was thinking about something to write about when I looked at the price of gold. Have you looked at the price of gold lately? It only seems to only go up. Have you wondered why this is and if you should buy it. Today I will be talking about the reasons it has been trending so much and just a little background on it. Photo from topone markets     In this paragraph I would like to talk about some of the reasons why gold is up 60% year to date. The first reason is that gold has gone so parabolic is because of uncertainty in the trade market. Recently President Trump has decided to use twitter to just spew out whatever he wants. Making a lot of tweets about tariffs has made people scared of the U.S dollar. When there is uncertainty in the market that's when risk on assets such as gold become much more enticing.      The second reason gold has become so much more enticing is because of t...
