This documentary film follows the stories of six young native Maya in Guatemala and the Chiapas region in Mexico. Through an examination of their daily and ceremonial life, the film explores the determination and resistance of these communities as they confront the new realities presented by the presence of Monsanto in their native land. The film is approximately 90 minute in length and will be introduced by Dr. Stephanis (Modern Languages), who will provide some of the cultural and historical context. After the film, we will have a short discussion on some of the issues raised in the movie, like GMO’s and sustainability. We would love it if you would encourage your students to attend the film screening, and consider providing credit for the event. Light snacks will be provided, so if nothing else that will hopefully help encourage students to come.
  • Second, between April 3rd and April 5th our club will be putting on a campaign called Vote Real. Vote Real is an initiative that we at Real Food Gonzaga are launching to provide GU students, faculty and staff with the opportunity to move the Real Food Challenge forward in a way that meets their interests and desires. When you Vote Real, you choose between 3 different food products that you would like to see shifted from current conventional standards to a 'real' product (fair, humane, ecologically-sound, and/or local). This voting period we will be voting between Carrots, Romaine, and Onions. The product that receives the most votes will be shifted on Sodexo's purchasing roster as seasonally available…students will help create the change that they wish to see…and we will be that much closer to meeting our Real Food Challenge goal (20% Real by 2020) and creating a fair, healthy, and environmentally-sustainable food system. Students are welcome to start voting on the 3rd at www.tinyurl.com/guvotereal . We would really appreciate it if you would encourage your students to vote!

  • So, if extrusion damages nutrition, what about pasta? Why doesn't it have a high glycemic index like breakfast cereals?
  • "In pasta products, gluten forms a viscoelastic network that surrounds the starch granules, which restricts swelling and leaching during boiling. Pasta extrusion is known to result in products where the starch is slowly digested and absorbed (59,60). Available data on spaghetti also suggest that this product group is a comparatively rich source of resistant starch (61). The slow-release features of starch in pasta probably relates to the continuous glutenous phase. This not only restricts swelling, but possibly also results in a more gradual release of the starch substrate for enzymatic digestion. Pasta is now generally acknowledged as a low glycemic index food suitable in the diabetic diet. However, it should be noted that canning of pasta importantly increases the enzymic availability of starch, and hence the glycemic response (62).[269]
