Just check the factories

     In FOOD INC. it talked about how there are many more consequences to advancing technology and being able to modify our foods. By using more pesticides, foods that the animals shouldn't be eating causing cows to be at risk catching e coli and standing in their own filth. I thought it was very sad when the lady was telling the story about her son and how he died because he ate a burger with e coli and died in days and it was sad because he was only like 2 or 3 and I thought of my nephews and niece, having them get sick and die because of something they ate. We trust that what we eat is checked and not worry about getting sick. I just think it is unfair because so many people lost their lives just by eating food and how they can be any age because the food isn't checked properly.The agencies that are meant to check on the farms and factories are being controlled by the people who own those factories. Instead of all the technology making foods safer and better to eat they are making it worse. The bigger the factories the more pathogens are just everywhere and is spread very fast. Now we have less slaughter houses but that are producing more than they ever have many years ago when they first started and when they had many more houses. All of the meat we eat is a mixture of different cows and it's pretty risky because they don't know if or what cow was sick. It's crazy that we aren't doing more to find out where our food is made and the working conditions of not only workers but also the animals.

  1. Its was sad hearing the ladies story about her son dying from a simple burger that contained a killing disease. We trust sellers that they are feeding us good food that won't harm us. But , are they even aware if the food is containing a disease or if it will be harmful to us. How sure are they when they are checking the foods or when they see a cow. The FDA should be stricter on restaurants on purchasing of meats.
