"Besides, I think it'll be easier to find clips and photos of farms and productions plants than some visual of "Food/Agricultural Policy." And posting interviews from different "experts" from YouTube seems like it'll be too boring--after all, nobody really watches CSPAN. And the major news networks prefer to focus on international (i.e., imported food) scandals."

"The sketch looks great, and I know that this is thinking ahead, but what if we did something similar for the cover of the entire book? I for one think a student-produced cover would look awesome, and I'd love to collaborate with the artists in our classes! Plus, the idea of biting off a piece of Manhattan gets the main idea of the book across really well."

"Oh, there's also two series on Food Network that can help. One is Elton Brown's "good Eats," which covers the more scientific aspect of food. The other is a series called "Secrets of ..." and they have a lot of episodes that go into the history and manufacture of tons of different foods. It's not critical of the techniques, but as an information source, it's really good. The History Channel also ahs a couple of shows, including "Modern Marvels," which check out food history and production. Also, intervi9ewing people sounds like it could lead to some hilarious moments. What if you put on a game-show (Jeopardy-style or something), say with other Macaulay kids, that has them testing their knowledge of the various aspects of food supply?"
