Beef! It's Whats For Dinner

Do you know where your food comes from?  Take this interactive Flash animation quiz to find out. 

This is part of my logistics lecture to show how globalization is changing distribution channels.  This link was given in the National Business Education Association monthly journal for February, 2011, on page 43.  The article was co-written by Margaret O'Connor and William Egan.

In the interactive quiz linked above, a tomato mutates when you miss a question.  I missed 4 of 10.  One question I missed was on American preferences for genetically modified food.  The quiz stated, I think, that 81% of Americans do not approve of GM food.  If Americans don't approve, why do they buy it?  I thought only the European community disapproved of GM food.

There are many quizzes on this site.  This is only one.  I also want to say that using Flash animation forces one to learn so it might be good for class.
