Socratic Seminar Reflection

I thought that today was an overall successful discussion towards the article we read, but it definitely could have gone deeper in thought and more interesting. There we're a lot of good points made, and having different view points/opinions really made the topic more interesting. It made people want to jump in and say something rather than sitting back and listening.
The point that I had made was towards someone else's point when they had said we need to educate the students in school so they can go back home, and tell their parents to "start being eco-friendly" or "start a garden." I disagreed because I know personally as a student learning about gardening, I don't want to go home and change my everyday lifestyle just to grow some vegetables or save some of my shower water to water plants. I know i had said earlier that i don't really care about the food i eat or the prices of gas and etc. but it's not necessarily that at all. I had just miss spoken. Another student had made a point how it's not the fact that we don't care, it how we don't have the resources or time. We had talked about 14% of the food we eat goes to waste, so why not save the food, put into a separate bin (like recycling), and what if we had a compost truck come pick it up?
And the students who "don't care" or are "lazy" like myself, agreed that they would save the food we don't eat and would put it outside for the compost truck to come pick it up (if we had one).
There was also something in the reading that i had thought kind of contradicted itself. He mention how this is the first time in generations that America has actually cared about food. Not only the prices, but the health of it. BUT i thought to myself, and America is also known for being the fattest Nation. So if we really cared about the food we eat that much, wouldn't we be eating healthier? or trying to buy good food for a good price? Because when you go through the drive-thru, you don't stop and ask about the calories and fattening in the food you ordered; you grab it and go. It's also cheap and convenient which seems to be a big thing for America.
Maybe i'm wrong or read it wrong. It's just something that caught my eye.
