       I recently attended one of the lectures of the January Seriesentitled Dancing With Dinner. Thespeaker was Joel Salatin, an alternative farmer who was in the film Food Inc.  In his lectureSalatin talked about how we as Americans have lost our love and respect that weonce had with food and the way that we grow food.  He told us about theearth friendly and natural ways that he grows food on his farm, how he stillhad that intimate relationship with the stuff that he puts on his table everymeal.       Since we watched Food Inc. just yesterday,it is easy to see how this topic ties into our class.  In God's kingdom,humans are stewards of the earth, meaning that they take care, provide, andsustain the resources that are entrusted to them.  In the kingdom of theEmpire, anything goes along as you can make a quick buck off of it.  Thismeans that cows are grown faster, pumped with antibiotics, and crammed togetherin a tight space just so we can get cheaper more convenient beef. The same can be said for chickens, pigs, and any other animal that can beturned into a product. This heinous food cycle has become thedominate way of life in our society today, those who try to oppose it arequickly dealt with by the Empire or deemed to insignificant to be a threat. However, recently there has been increasing movement against this statusquo.  We need to focus on alternative ways to feed ourselves, shop at ourlocal farmer's market, avoid mega-stores, and be more conscious aboutwhat we put into our body.
