The three most important chapters we read in the Omnivores Dilemma and class readings has to be the chapter slaughter in Omnivores Dilemma Mccloud and Asimov . Out of all the readings these theree stood out to me more then any others because of differnt reasons. First of the chapeter slaughter really stood out to me because I never really new the brutality chickens went thru in order for them to be killed. It kind of open my eyes to the whole meat industry. I new they would kill the chickens but not in the way they did like making them hang there and let there blood drip down. Also the harsh conditions they made them live in also got to me because even though they were about to be killed I dont think they should be tortured before they are put to death and be treated like they have no feelings at all. This is why this chapter stood out to me more then any in Omnivores Dilemma. Another reading that stood out to me is Mccloud just because I found it to be very interesting to read. I never really thought about her amazing our brain is before he explained it to us and how we are able to pick out symbols and shapes and put names on them inside our brains. I also like how he talked about how we relate to cartoons and how our brains connects two dots and a line to a face.I found this to be one of the most intersting readings ive read so far. Another reading I found interesting was Asmimov. I found this interesting because I realized that just because all people might not be booksmart doesnt make them dumb. Many people are smart in there own area of work or study which makes them smart in that area of work. I like the example Asimov presented to us as well it was easy to understand what he was saying. These are my favorite readings because I found them to be interesting to me.
