Jonathan Safran Foer Webinar Reaction Assignment

Earlier this week we had a webinar with the acclaimed author, Jonathan Safran Foer. He has entertained people with his various books and some of them have even been turned into movies. One of his recent works in particular has gained the author prestige. The book is called Eating Animals. The webinar was presented by Farm Forward and Jonathan Safran Foer. In the webinar, students and teachers were able to ask Foer questions about his book. I felt like the webinar was persuasive, inspiring and informative.

The reason I believe that the webinar was persuasive, was because Foer would always talk about how being vegetarian is a better way to live, instead of consuming meat, or he also suggested that people eat less meat . He also stated that “meat is murder”. I think the message that he is trying to send is that meat is murder not only to us, but to the animals too. He explains that the process of the meat can be unhealthy for our bodies, and that it also takes an animals life to get that meat.

I also feel that this webinar was informative. In the webinar he would answer many peoples questions, and he would inform people of the dangers of factory farming. He also would get into detail about many of the answers that he would give to the people. He definitely went into detail with this webinar.

I really felt like this webinar was inspiring, it takes a lot of courage to introduce your ideas and thoughts to the world. Foer has inspired me to find a healthy alternative to meat and he has definitely made people think about what they are eating. Many people just pick up something and eat, and they don't realize what they are putting into their body.

I honestly think that this webinar has really affected me in such a big way. I can definitely say that i'm going to be changing the ways I eat. I feel like some of the topics that were introduced in the webinar relate to my life, such as becoming a vegetarian. I have always wanted to be a vegetarian, but I haven't put any effort into it. I feel like many people struggle not to eat meat, but I definitely have decided to change.
