  1. Hey, everyone.
  2. So I'm here to share with you all.
  3. A passion of mine, something that brings me immense joy,
  4. connects me to my family and friends and evokes my
  5. curiosity, food, literacy.
  6. We all know what food is.
  7. We need to survive.
  8. But how can food be a form of literacy to
  9. take you on my journey?
  10. I will explain what knowing food means how to use
  11. it. And finally, I will demonstrate an example of me
  12. using it by making you all hummus.
  13. Yeah. So knowing about food food is a part of
  14. a system.
  15. Traditionally, communities were dependent on local food on Lee, and
  16. this dictated their diets.
  17. Now food travels great distances.
  18. For example, the chickpea, the chickpeas, which I will be
  19. showing you in my video were purchased at a local
  20. grocery store.
  21. But they were actually imported from Italy.
  22. Even though Canada is a producer of chickpeas.
  23. Um, in addition to knowing where food comes from, what
  24. about it's purpose?
  25. Nourishment? You see, Hamas is a popular dish in North
  26. America, likely because it's healthy, tasty, high in protein.
  27. And, of course, it's convenient.
  28. By this, I mean, it's easily accessible because it can
  29. be produced pre made in most grocery stores.
  30. On the other hand, homemade hummus might be less accessible.
  31. As I will demonstrate in the video, Making your own
  32. US requires access to a particular handy dandy tool, also
  33. known as the food processor, which also requires electricity.
  34. So, in general, making food let make it mastering food.
  35. Literacy depends on one's access to food.
  36. Kitchenware on knowledge regarding food.
  37. This is highly influenced by social economic status and geographical
  38. location. Okay, Uh huh.
  39. So understanding how to use it.
  40. When I was a kid, my mother juggled a full
  41. time job and four kids.
  42. On top of that, she was expected to cook our
  43. meals. So pre made Costco Shepherd's pie was her go
  44. to that being said, I'm grateful for my friends who
  45. are so clever with food and university.
  46. I found myself cooking lots with, um, chopping, marinating meeting,
  47. measuring all skills that I learned from them.
  48. Reflecting on this, I have discovered that food literacy takes
  49. time to develop something my mom didn't have.
  50. My friends had more time to be food conscious.
  51. They have grown their own food, the value shopping locally
  52. heading to farmers markets, researching sustainable agriculture and making dishes
  53. from scratch.
  54. Their letter.
  55. Their influences have helped me feel more comfortable with my
  56. own food skills.
  57. I became inspired in experimenting with veganism and substitutes for
  58. dairy. These influences for my friends have shaped the way
  59. I shop, cook on my ability to prepare to properly
  60. nourish myself and have sparked my interest in sustainability around
  61. agriculture. Um, here is supposed to be a video of
  62. me making comments e think, maybe try and work out
  63. the tweaks later.
  64. But I believe incorporating food literacy in the classroom is
  65. so crucial because bringing awareness on privilege of food and
  66. the impact we have on the food systems and sustainability
  67. might empower their choices regarding food purchases and preparation.
  68. I hope this video inspires Andi evokes some curiosity in
  69. yourselves and maybe in my future students if I happen
  70. to show them this.
  71. But this is an activity that even learners could dio
  72. videotaping themselves a time lapse off them, cooking something in
  73. the kitchen or their parents cooking something and bringing it
  74. to the classroom to show their classmates how food is
  75. important in their lives.
  76. Anyways, thank you for watching
