Fireside Chat: A Review of Foodways Programs

Plutarch once wrote that “the mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.” No other quote would be more suitable concerning higher education. Education should encourage students to question everything, requiring evidence before belief. Education requires elevating pupils' minds to new heights, teaching students to learn for themselves, and engage them to better prepare for the future. Education must muster one’s motivation to greater heights, giving students the subject for their future areas of study. Instead, classes like Global Foodways serve little more than bash corporations. Instead of granting students different ways to look at produce, understanding the supply chains involved, and feeding a world on a global scale, Foodways programs focus on race hustling and never go further back than the Atlantic Slave trade nor further forwards than the Civil Rights movement. The fact of the matter is that colleges abandoned the study of classics for race hustling. Therefore, I’ve done my best to tell my fellow students to learn to trust nothing. Everything you think you feel, everything you think you know, question every call, play through every whistle. These academics must CONVINCE me that what they’re saying is the truth; if they cannot, their courses are pointless. Woke institutions inevitably cause the counter-culture to grow. Parents are paying for parrots to turn their children into sheep.
