As everybody else in the class is doing, i would also like to analyze the blog
NeverSeconds.
- What do you think of Martha Payne and what she accomplished?
When I first looked at the blog, I was very surprised to know that her blog has reached over 10 million hits. Similar to the blogs we analyzed during the class few weeks ago, this blog also has a simple design with clear white background, which I felt very comfortable to read. Some photos are shown for each postings and all of them are nice and not uncluttered. One of my favorite posts is about Japanese school lunch (給食"kyushoku") which was actually posted by Doni. I'm interested in Kyushoku Koshien since it can encourage local production for local consumption and educate healthy eating.
- What are your memories of your school lunches?
I had school lunch at my elementary school in Japan, and also in Thailand.
In Japan, there was a big cooking facility at my school and lunch was provided everyday (with milk always lol). Comparing with other people, there was no option for lunch , however, I was not forced to eat all. Students could freely reduce the amount if they felt it's too much, and have another helping as well. In Thailand, students could bring their lunch from home or have school lunch at cafeteria. I used to prefer school lunch because it was served in buffet style, and I had more choices than in Japan. Students were also given some choices for drink, so I was really happy that I didnt't have to drink milk anymore.
- Did you feel that you had any input on the nature or quality of your school
lunches?
I didn't feel that I had any input on the nature or quality of my school lunches. I think this is because that I didn't have any chance to advance an opinion about it at that time.
- What do you think of the dining facilities at AGU and how do you think they
can be improved?
I think the dining facilities at AGU are good enough. However, one thing that I feel uncomfortable is that it can accomodate a few. It will be nice if there can hold more space for students to sit (difficult though).
- What creative way(s) do you think we (individually or as AGU students) can
help others in the world less fortunate than us...especially in connection to
food?
I think most important thing is not to waste the food. To save the food by using appropriate amount could surely help others in the world less fortunate than us.
That's all !!! Thank you :)
