Summary:

The article provides the commonly private cycles of how American potatoes are manufactured and planted in factories today. The millions of potatoes that are cropped everyday are now being more reproduced through the process of genetic engineering, which the manufacturing companies use to ” protect themselves from insects and diseases without the help of pesticides”. The new growing potatoes in the farms are being put through toxic chemicals procedures to keep the potatoes lasting longer, but with the side effect using the information on the potatoes plant cells to keep a cycle of enhanced potatoes in the right procedures. The making of our plants, or even agriculture itself is being portrayed as a “software”, “robotic, acomputer-like system in the farms and factories and how we crop our plants.

Communication Problem:

The communication problem would be in which way can we portray that the toxins being put on our potatoes detrimental to our healthy. It should be a message that the chemicals that’s being put in our food is basically as putting drugs in your stomach, how genetic engineering is risking our health and putting poison in our potatoes.

Image Ideas:

The image idea should be something not too graphic, but a simple, clever way of sending a message. Here some examples I found (Pic 1)(Pic 2) to inspire some ideas for the shooting.
