Did any information in the book come as a surprise to you? If so, why do you think that specific piece of knowledge was kept from you? Does the producer of this knowledge have any responsibility? What is your responsibility as a knower?
a piece of information that came as a surprise to me was how much the american culture treats food as a marketing tool. everything that we eat is all based on what is supposed to be healthy at that time. also all these studies tell us what is the best food to eat for weight loss, and then a few years later it is told that the food we are eating to loose weight is actually causing weight gain. and the people who tell us the food we are eating is bad told us five years earlier that the food we are eating is good and healthy. i think that this knowledge about food trends is kept from people becuase eatinf trends are the most popular trends and have the biggest market. since there are so many choices for a person to choose from, these trends are need to steer people towards certain foods to eat. if we knen why these eating trends were created people would not pay thousands for the type of food and resort to eating what they like. the producer of the knowledge is responsible for keeping the buyers in the dark so they will not question the test.
