At first, Wrangham makes a comparison between gorillas and chimps, to prove how a slight alteration in their diets makes a big difference in their bodies and how they live. He also talks about the differences in eating raw meat and cooked meat, since his argument is about cooking changing humans. Links are made in the energy use between humans and chimps. Towards the end, he talks about the social changes, such as the females cooking and the males gathering or “working”.

Well, my book is missing page 83/84 so I’m unsure of what the full first point is. What I can read of it, it’s talking about making a compost and growing your own food. It’s hard for a college student to grow their own food, but a compost can easily be made from leftovers…I always have plenty, and given to a local farm or family. Point 2 is about preparing your own food. Some college students may not have access to a kitchen, but in the cafeteria they could pick out the healthier choices from the normal cafeteria-style line as opposed to the fast food choices. Points 3, 5, 6, and 7 are all about learning; learning about where the food comes from, the economy, farming in general, and food species. College students can do all of those just by asking around and doing some research. Point 4 talks about directly talking to the producer. At USC, there’s a farmer’s market once a week. Students can take advantage of that resource to talk to local farmers and other producers.
