Better Decisions

Before our topic of food began I didn’t really think too deeply about our food products, labels or how things were grown. Our class discussions about food waste, and areas in need grow their own organic food  has given me a deeper insight of our food productions, companies and their regulations. What exactly can we as a whole do to resolve the reprimanding problems today? I think more of this understanding about food needs to be shared globally in order to help our environment in any way. However food production has come a long way both in better and worse terms, watching Food Inc made my stomach churn but guilty that I was a part of something so devastating. I suggest we need to start changing our eating habits in order to be an example for our future generations and kids. Our country is constantly changing by inventing new ways to help our growing population and finding out ways to “help” the environment, but by changing nature (like feeding animals what they’re not made to be eating like feeding corn to cow which has a grass-fed diet.) is utterly disappointing. I think if I knew more about this 4 years ago I would have started researching more and choose my foods more carefully. I think we can all agree that in some form we have learned about food that has influenced our way of thinking about the future of food.
Here's an article worth reading.

  1. I completely agree, it's cruel how people force feed animals to eat chemicals that will make them "fat"
