My food research topic talks about if the food that America produces is safe and healthy to eat, as well as the effects it is having on the country. My goal for this topic is to find out if the people of the United States should be concerned about how their food is being produced.So far in my rough draft, I have about four solid paragraphs that I feel that I can expand upon even further.
In my rough draft, I have talked about the growth of the horrid process, factory farming. With factory farming, I have listed the risks that we are allowing by using this process. I have also talked about how factory farms are affecting the currently diminishing family farms. Another thing I have spoken about in the rough draft is about GMOs and chemicals that are put into our food.
Currently, I have hit a wall and can't think about what to write next. I have constantly looked up articles about how our food is being produced, but I end up in the same subjects of GMOs, chemicals, factory farming, etc. Right now, I am in need of some different topics of discussion. Are there any topics of food that concerns you about health or safety? I would greatly appreciate the help.
How about safety inspections? Food inspections by the FDA are down in the last few decades, and the current administration looks like they will make further cuts in areas that they feel that industry is "over-regulated."
ReplyDeleteJust like what Fletcher had mentioned about food inspections would be something interesting to write about in your essay. Another topic I can suggest is probably writing about raw/uncooked foods like fish in sushi. I believe I found some articles about that if you want them just let me know and I'll be willing to share them with you.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could include how the food has affected people, I am sure there are articles pertaining to how factory farming and chemicals have impacted someone's health personally.
ReplyDeleteYou could also mention why families have been trained to be obilivious to the safety of the food they consume, if that makes since. If you have any follow up questions, feel free to ask!
