This unit examines food system waste through the lens of dumpster diving, an alternative food procurement strategy of salvaging food items thrown away by commercial grocers and food retailers. After viewing a short documentary and studying a research report, students will be able to: (1) identify persuasive ethos; (2) critique rhetorical appeals used in food waste and dumpster diving arguments; and (3) practice persuasive ethos by developing arguments to reduce food waste. The goal of this unit is to challenge students to both critique and practice a rhetorical strategy while considering the relationship between food waste and environmental degradation.
