Prepare | In the Unit 13 video, “Totnes: What the Past Can Teach us About the Future,” the contrast was drawn between lifestyles in the past and present. For this assignment, you are to find and interview a person who is over the age of 70.
Research | Your interview should focus on food and diet from their early life, prior to age 21. Develop at least eight questions in advance for the interview. The questions should help you gather a complete picture of foods and how they related to the lifestyle of 50 or more years ago.
Document | Submit a 1000-word summary that draws contrasts between the experiences of your interviewee and present times.  What were the most surprising things you learned?
