GGR107H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Neocolonialism, Unequal Exchange, Saturated Fat
Document Summary
King corn: because corn isn"t the cows naturally diet, it will kill them anyways, a lot more saturated fat in corn feed cows, evidence: farmers, scientists. Different conditions around the world because of different laws and regulations: some laws are more strict in different places around the world, supply and demand, reduce costs by constraining animals (less exercise=less food) Warehousing- when a company wants something that day, they don"t necessarily care where it came from. Society disagrees with the warehousing and caging animals: concern with health (they have to give the animals in antibiotics) Infrastructure is development: dependency theory gunder not, postcolonial theory said. Response to modernization: we have material goods and high standard of living because other countries do. Recurring thought that certain countries are third world and does this create social relationships of unequal power. Cannot build a society when life expectancy is so low.
