Today we went to a food science lab and there were lots of
people with cool accents. They were studying what causes allergic reactions
from peanuts. They extract the proteins with a machine. Then they take the
proteins and put them into a different machine. They look at the amino acids in
the proteins. They found which sequences of amino acids that make allergies and
they can possibly extract these sequences to make hypoallergenic peanuts. </div>

There was another professor who talked to us about dairy,
especially the bacteria in yogurt and its health benefits. Another professor
takes the left over grape stuff from wine and tries to bake it into bread to
add fiber and antioxidants. There was a testing room with funny colored lights
to mask the color of the food. People would test the smell, taste, texture and
the appearance of different foods. </div>

Today we went to Second Harvest food bank in Winston Salem. We
did service work for them for about four hours, checking expiration-dates, for dents
and holes in food packages, then some of us packed varieties of food in little
cardboard boxes . I was amazed by how
much food they throw away. They threw away like a third of the food that they
got donated from grocery stores because it was maybe bad. After that we went to corn syrup factory but
we can’t talk about it, so yea. <span style="font-family: Webdings;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Today we drove to North Carolina from Atlanta. For breakfast
we had carrot muffins, then had to clean up all of our breakfast things before
8:15 before the school students got to Atlanta Friends meeting. Then we drove
for 5 hours. I do not really know what happened during that time because I was
asleep. But Micah broke a free Coke bottle we got from our WORLD OF COKE <b>EXPERIENCE. </b>The bottle was Asher’s, and
Micah was trying to open it like a cool kid by hitting it against a metal
bench. The staff told Asher that it was not safe to drink because of glass
particles, unless he filtered it through a bandana into another jar. <span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

school. It looks a lot different than Arthur Morgan. There are fancier buildings,
and apparently all the kids get their own ChromeBook. I thought that was pretty
NEAT-O. Then we hung out at a playground at the school #KLFVR (Kevin Lives
Forever) #KDFVR (Kevin Dies Forever) until dinner, where we had couscous. After
we ate dinner, Alexia made popcorn with parmesan cheese. I ate all the burnt
kernels because burnt things are delicious. Then we went back to the building
where we are staying and hung out until bedtime. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09528582606568383656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804240639338432577.post-3942578633470678262014-03-09T18:26:00.002-07:002014-03-09T18:26:44.000-07:00Day 14Day 14 by Shogo<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
We awoke at 7:00 and faced the first challenge of the day,
daylight savings. The Friends Meeting had
to prep for meeting so we had to leave for the day by 8:45. This was an hour earlier than expected so we
drove to a park and went back to sleep in the bus until we met with Tania who
pretty much planned our weekend.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We worked
with Tania until lunch working on a small garden for a transitional housing. We divided into three groups. One group worked on weeding a compost bin
that was completely covered in honeysuckle.
Another group worked on making a garden bed and clearing some brush. The group I was on worked on making several
beds using a permaculture method called berms and swells. Basically the beds are planted on even
contours of a hill. Behind the beds are
berms that catch rainwater and spread it out along the bed. After we were done, Tania bought us donuts
from this amazing donut shop called Revolutionary Donuts.</div>

We then
journeyed to a different world… The World of Coca Cola. In the World of Coca Cola, we searched for
the “secret formula” of coca cola, (one which Satchel has improved greatly) and
traveled through the brainwashing land of Coke.
We learned that Coca Cola makes you happy and is the essence of
life. We also watched a 4d movie about
what makes coke “coke”, and got stabbed in the back by a dragonfly. At the end of the tour there is the tasting
room. In the tasting room, there is an unlimited
source of soda, and over 60 different flavors.
We, the students, consumed about 2L each. And we were given a free 8oz of coke!</div>

We had cream of wheat for breakfast which Kevin made. Then we
went to Global Growers to plant blueberries. So first we mulched a row then dug a bowl (not
a hole) and then scored the side and then we put the plant in. After that we
buried them. The Global Growers works with refugees from other countries. They give
them space to farm. </div>

And we visited a farm called Truly Living Well. They are
farming in an urban area where there used to be houses. They use raised beds because
there is lead in the ground. They just started using hydroponics. After that we

This morning we woke up and had a
wonderful breakfast of toasted bagels then we cleaned up and drove to the CDC
(Center for Disease Control). When we
got there we had difficulty finding parking (again!) and we were late for our
tour so Alexia dropped us off and went to try and park. When we walked inside there was very heavy
security which was slightly scary and unexpected. Once we got through it though they had a really
nice tour of their museum and learned lots about diseases and what the CDC does. </div>

When the tour was over we grabbed a quick lunch and drove
over to the Atlanta food bank. There we
met up with two other school groups and did a simulation on the difficulties of
getting a healthy meal on an extremely low income. We were each given a character with information
about our monthly income and expenses and we had to figure out how to get 2,000
calories of food for ourselves. I did
not manage to get my food. When we
finished with that the other groups left and the nutritionist gave us a tour of
their facilities. We were all very tired
so we came home and had a lovely evening. </div>

On day 10 we went to Satchel’s Pizza in Gainesville and he
showed us how he makes his own sodas for his customers. It was very interesting
because he put essential food oils in his soda. In his cola he put in 16 ounces
of grain alcohol, lemon oil, coriander oil, cinnamon oil, nutmeg oil, neroli
oil, lime oil, and vanilla. Satchel adds the grain alcohol because without it the water and the oil would separate so it makes it mix and dissolve. He makes a sugar syrup with two and a half gallons of water
and either 30 pounds of sugar or one cup of Stevia. One tablespoon of the flavor gets mixed into the syrup, and then this gets mixed with carbonated water in a 1 to 5 ratio. </div>

After that we went to a farm called Siemba and weeded in trade for some
vegetables. The farm had pigs and goats and a lot of vegetables. We now have way too many carrots. </div>

Then we went to a spring and ate lunch but it was unfortunate because we only
had 11 tortillas and also it was rainy and gloomy and gross outside. Right
after that we went to a prairie wetland and saw cool wildlife like alligators,
armadillos, birds, and wild boars. Then it started raining so we left. </div>

Then we went to the farmers market in Gainesville and saw Cecil. My mom bought
a bunch of oranges from him and he offered our group more free citrus. We tried to pay for it, but he made us take it for free. He’s really nice! <br />
<br />
Then we spent the rest of our kitty money going out for Satchel’s pizza for
dinner. The wait was pretty long but it was really good pizza so it was worth
it. Then we went back to my mom’s house and went to bed. </div>

Then, we went
to the University of Florida Research and Education Center in Belle Glade. We
learned about love bugs, barn owls, and brown and orange rust. We went to an
old building where a bunch of barn owls lived, and as you walked, you could
hear the rodent bones crunching beneath our feet. We saw baby owls that were
adorable. <br />

Today we woke up at a campsite and ate granola. It was good.
Then we packed up and headed to Monsanto. They gave us swag bags and told us
about selective breeding and that molecular breeding is just a fancy way of
saying sped up selective breeding. Selective breeding is when you choose the
plants you like and keep regrowing them until you get the plants you like. With
molecular engineering, they sample the leaf of each plant and send it into a
lab to read the DNA. Genetically modified organics is when they take a gene
from something and put it into something different. Everyone has been eating
GMOs since 1995 – corn, Hawaiian papaya, soy and wheat. We don’t eat cotton,
but it’s a GMO crop. Then we ate lunch and drove to Asher’s mom’s house and
we’re going to camp in her backyard.</div>

Day One by Andrew</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We started driving. I was so excited to go to Florida and
find so many lizards. The first stop was the South Carolina welcome center. We
ate our lunches. I had a PB and Jelly sandwich and a grilled cheese. I was
pretty disappointed that we saw no lizards. Then we got back on the bus and
kept driving. It was around 6:30 to 7:00
that we ate dinner. It was pesto pasta. After that we got to Al Geiger’s house and
we got to meet him. He is an awesome guy. Al Geiger has his own kumquat tree.
We got to try some; they were really sour. They were still good. Alexia and I
went outside for a walk and we saw a frog at the pond. After that we went to
bed. </div>

Day two by Adalaya</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
morning we drove for about an hour and came to an amazing citrus grove. The owner of the grove, Cecil Nelson, was
very nice and gave us a tour. We walked
through the trees and he taught us the names of many of the different fruits as
well as letting us sample all of them. My
personal favorite was called the Golden Neighbor, which was probably the best
orange I have ever eaten. At the
beginning of the tour Cecil gave us all plastic bags and as we went he let us
pick all the oranges and grapefruit that our hearts desired (we have
tons). When the tour was over, we all
piled into the bus and drove back to the Geiger’s.</div>

Day Four by Shogo</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We started our day at 5:30 and drove to Florida
Crystals. Florida Crystals is a sugar
factory that is located next to Lake Okeechobee. Florida Crystals grows organic
and non-organic sugarcane, then boils it into sugar. We were given two tours. On the first tour, we drove to the sugarcane
fields and watched the sugarcane get harvested by huge machines. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We also got to sample some sugarcane and take
some with us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
On the second tour, we went
inside the factory and saw the sugarcane get milled, cleaned, then refined into
sugar. The aroma wasn’t exactly
enjoyable. We went into the room where
the sugar was packaged and you could taste the sugar in the air. The most amazing thing that I saw in the
factory was the sugar barn. The sugar
barn was a giant 300 by 100 foot barn-like-thing where they stored all the
unrefined sugar. We walked inside and
there were literary 100ft tall sugar dunes.
After our journey in sugar land,
we came back to the Winsburgs and went to Green Cay Wetlands. The wetlands were really cool. There were over 25 different bird species, a
couple alligators, turtles, and frogs. </div>

Day five by Sage</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On day five, our trip drove to the everglades. Before that,
we volunteered at the Pine Jog environmental education center. We helped remove
invasive species of plants. We also saw their controlled burn areas. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
THEN we
drove to the everglades. On the way there, we stopped at this fruit stand
called Robert Is Here. Robert Is Here is an AMAZING fruit stand in Florida
City. They sell all sorts of weird and tropical fruit. Some of the fruit there
is Mamy Sapote, Camilla , and dragon fruit. They had so many types of honey. The
honey was SO GOOD. I LOVE HONEY. THIS IS EXCITING. HONEY. Anyway, they had all
these FREE samples of honey and all of them were AMAZING! There were also
REEEAEAALALALLAYYYY good mangoes called Kent Mangoes. They were so much better
than any mango I’ve ever had in my life! </div>

Day 6 by Micah </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We went to a thing called Vintage Day at Royal Palm in the
Everglades, which is an annual celebration of the protection of the Everglades.
We saw a historic debate reenactment about whether to drain the Everglades or
not. We walked on a boardwalk and saw alligators and sunbathing alligators and
birds. </div>

Miracle fruit sticks to the sweet receptors on your tongue, and when you
eat sour stuff it activate the sweet receptors on the tongue. We also went on
an alligator watch at night and saw alligators up close. Their eyes glow
because the light goes through their eyes and bounces back, stimulating the
rods and cones twice to get them to have better night vision. It was cool to
see alligators and eat so much crazy fruit. </div>

could park our bus and swim at the beach. We were looking for parking
for about an hour and a half and we were right next to the beach, but there
