Part 2: Scalar Site:

Using media items you create during the week, you will create a new Scalar book that represents Sustainability Practices and Messaging in the Contemporary Swedish Marketplace developed
around/involving products in your food industry. Like your 1st Scalar book, your new one should: 

• include a minimum of 10 pages, a minimum of 10 media/visual items (including and highlighting your photos and media clips), and 1 linear path connecting your pages.
• as at least 1 of your media clips, do include a some audio excerpt of a conversation you have with a Swedish resident commenting on the local food market around your product.

* Do note: although our speakers and site hosts are fine with being documented for class purposes, please do use cautionary judgment and be courteous when taking photos that involve closeup shots of strangers, minors, or any activity that could be invasive or intrusive.

• Michael Moss (writing on concerns around US consumer health/nutrition problems related to food industry products)
• Marion Nestle (on US regulation development and food safety)
• Rampton and Stauber (on US scientific research, corporate influence, and impacts on environmental/health safety)
• Michael Pollan (on a “naturalist’s” critique and perspective on US industrial food production)

Considering the development of corporate Sustainability Practices you studied with your food brand in Part 1 of the project, and the sustainability practices developed by alternative US companies Gary Hirschberg covered in Stirring It Up, how would you imagine your author reacting to your tour of Sustainability Practices in Sweden's food industries and consumer landscape?
