I feel as though food has gotten out of hand over the course
of years with things like genetically modified food, federally regulated food,
and the sustainability of that food. Nowadays most food is genetically modified
so the food will grow faster and be bigger. The food that is out in the
supermarkets goes through all of these processes of management. These big
businesses have control over the food that is shipped out and put in the store
that now its much cheaper to buy to buy the food that are made with all of
these artificially ingredients than it is to buy out of the farmers
market. I wonder if organic food can
feed the world and would our society be better off if organic food was cheaper
and easier to come by than genetically modified food? We seen this happen
recently in our school. During club’s day the school clubs were only able to
sell healthy food that meet with certain requirements and as a result not much
people bought food during club’s day.
You'd think that buying an ingredient would be cheaper than buying the actual product ^^' Its quite sad too know that there was once a time that food wasn't modified and in many if not every way healthier. It also sucks how our school finally made a change for the better, many people weren't please at all. I for sure wasn't. I still remember how it was only last year that one club was selling bacon rapped corn dogs and now its go-gurts and such.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the both of you, I will never understand why a burger at Wendy's is only two dollars but to buy meat or even one organic apple from Sprouts is the same amount. It is sad because people do not have the money to make these type of decisions. So the thing that is keeping them alive, is also killing them slowly. Most people do not understand this which is why they continue to eat food that is unhealthy.
ReplyDeletei agree with you daniel because it has totally gotten out of hand. Our food supply has gotten out of hand because the food that we now eat is honestly not trustable. we all know that it is injected with Genetically modified organisms and from what we have been learning in class they are not good towards our health. our food is now being grown as fast rates all just to keep up with consumer demands. industrial farming has mainly been wiped out by all these food industries so yes that means that the food with no modified organisms has been almost faded from us. who knows but genetically modified organisms might just be the cause of all these new food borne illneses
