Abstain from beans. • Pythagoras

Food memories create community.

It’s odd how large a part food plays

in memories of childhood. There

are grown men and women who

still shudder at the sight of

spinach or turn away with

loathing from stewed prunes and

tapioca. •Caroline Lejeune

I say it’s spinach, and I say the hell

with it. • E.B. White

Why is it that the

things I like are all

bad for me? I hate

vegetables. I’d

rather eat chocolate

and drink beer.Who among School of Education

faculty and administrators and staff

said this?

What’s your least

favorite food?

Draw a picture of

it on the paper

plate provided.There is nothing more disgusting than

eating a chicken’s child.

Honestly, people, what are you

thinking?

• Student comment, 2005

Why would you want to

eat anything called a pupu

platter? • Winston advertisement, 2000

I don’t want to make any recipe that

begins: First, remove the tentacles from

the eye portion. • W-OZ

Men don’t really like soup•

• President Richard Nixon on why he

omitted the soup course from state

dinners.You call it vegetable soup,

but I call it the slop pail of food.

You just dump every leftover in the

refrigerator in it and it’s disgusting.

Lettuce that isn’t good enough to put

into a salad doesn’t taste good in

soup either.

It’s not thrifty, it’s gross.

• Overheard at a Portland

restaurant, 2001

The most disgusting thing I’ve ever actually eaten?

I once ate

a spider to

impress

my

students.

This is not

a good

idea. I

even

grossed

out

myself.

food?Draw a picture of it on the back of your

plate.

I love bananas

because I know no

one’s touched the fruit

before I eat it!

• Student

comment, 2010

What would happen if you had to

eat your favorite food at every

meal?Burgers for

breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Mmmm, strawberry fields forever!

I’d walk a mile for a bacon sandwich. • Princess Diana

A variety of nothing is superior to

a monotony of something. • L.M.

Richter

Hamburgers, the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast. • Pulp

What’s your favorite way

to eat an apple?

With your partner(s), list your favorites as well as other ways to serve the

teacher fruit..

What’s the best way to serve an apple?

What if I am

old, young, without

teeth, don’t like

apples, can’t chew

quickly, or. . .?

Seriously, who thinks that unopened coconuts

are a fun food to serve at a kids’ picnic?

• One woman talking to another at

Safeway, 2000

The mind is like the

stomach. It is not

how much you put

into it that

counts, but how

much it digests.• Albert Jay Nock

I am the happiest when I eat wonton

soup.

• Thomas, age nine

To insure fairness, the test is the

same for each of you: Climb the

tree.

There’s a period of life where we swallow

a knowledge of ourselves and it

becomes either good or sour inside. •

Pearl Bailey

How does your teaching affect students’ self

image? Are there ways you could present

information that would better facilitate

learning? How do you

differentiate, adapt, individualize? What’s

one thing you could do the next time you’re

in a classroom that could improve students’

learning?

Consider serving the same, only different!

The deficit model casts a long shadow on our ability to appreciate and work with difference. What we call disabiity is in truth a mismatch between educational process and person.

Why not label the educational process as “disabled” instead of the person?

• Senge, Cambron-McCabe, Lucas, Smith, Dutton, &Kleiner

(2000), Schools that Learn, p. 40

How about you? How do you like your learning

served?Does it depend on the time of day, the subject, your mood, the teacher, the

location, or. . .?

My favorite

sandwich is

peanut

butter, baloney,

cheddar

cheese, lettuce,

and mayonnaise

on toasted

bread with

catsup on the

side.

Humphrey

Children have more taste buds than adults

do!

I hope you’re coming to the banquet tonight. We’re having deep-fried beaks, legs, and claws followed by boiled brains in raisin-chocolate sauce served with sweet and sour eyeballs and creamed cockroaches.

This would be a better place for

children if parents had to eat the

spinach.

• Groucho MarxI loved that meal. Let’s never have it again. • Amy

Seidel

I do not like broccoli

and I haven’t liked it

since I was a little kid

and my mother made

me eat it. And I’m

President of the United

States and I’m not

going to eat any more

broccoli. • President

George H.W. Bush

Food is our

common ground, a

universal

experience.
