My reading professor made a very dramatic illustration in class on Thurdsay night.
She read the ingredients in the milkbone dog biscuits and pointed out that all of the ingredients were items we could understand....and then she ate one! Yuck!
Then she told us about the ingredients in McDonals Chicken Nuggets...half of which we could not pronouce.....
She also compared the calories in the dog biscuits & chicken nuggets....guess which one has alot fewer calories....yep, the dog biscuits!
So is it we don't eat dog biscuits...but we will pay lots of money to eat mystery meat thats loaded with fat and calories....!
Let's just say when I drove by McDonalds today...I had no desire to stop and order chicken nuggets!
The point she was trying to make was the power and effect of a label!
We make judgements about people and kids based a label, and not what's inside the package!
When we should take the time to learn about the inside of the package, before forming an opinion.

I love that my illustration made sense and I love that you have become a blogger! It is fun to see your life in Germany while there and to visit the places and sites you saw. Now, though it is back to business. You need to catch up on your readings and show me you have read! You must, it is a part of this class grade!
