People in the world today, are consuming foods from all over but mainly getting it from the factories, not noticing what there food has been through to make it there in front of them with the knowledge from our classes reading books and looking at videos I was able to realize how this food production really works and is it really healthy NO it isn't, but we as Americans eat it anyways. When we eat our food we never take time out and realize where it comes from who hands were on it last what animal did it come from and so on. I think that if people were to realize and seek the amount of information i was during this semester they would definitely change their eating habits on how they eat. During the course of the semester i came with full knowledge thinking my food is good and healthy but at the end i was able to realize my food was bad , society makes chicken and other foods look so good by advertisements in the media and make commercials displaying the pros about it never the cons if you notice everything is just roses and flowers not to mention the businesses that sells and makes these advertisements and draws society in to help them grow in and stay in power and wealthy.
According to Myth three Industrial food is cheap for example "In America, politicians, business leaders, and the media continue to reassure us that our food is the cheapest in the world. They repeat their mantra that the more we apply chemicals and technology to agriculture, the more food will be produced and the lower the price will be to the consumer. This myth of cheap food is routinely used by agribusiness as a kind of economic blackmail against any who point out the devastating impacts of modern food production". In other words this myth has been use to make another excuse to why our food production is bad my opinion to this quote is that we should not spend millions of money towards these factories to make a whole bunch of unhealthy food it should go to something way healthier and safer to eat. Industrialization factories are bad after watching the movie "Meatrix" I was able to see the truth about our agriculture and how we role and what we do to about farms and how to make money off of them.
Based upon our refrigerator and freezer I bet half the people in our culture doesn't know where they food came from. In society there will always be social class status no matter what! because if you look deeply based upon supermarkets, look at different boroughs see how clean the supermarket is compare to a supermarket in Manhattan or a white neighborhood where all the white people go there is a major difference to they people serve us, living in the Bronx or Queens or Brooklyn, the supermarket aren't that clean, also look at the prices of certain stuff we buy its real cheap. As a trip in class we went to a supermarket and analyzed everything based upon the expensive of the product or calories or where it was place, come to find out all the high expensive food was on the top all the cheap stuff was at the bottom that's crazy! but hey living in the agriculture today i mean what do you expect. People should take within on the structure of how supermarkets are made with the neighborhood and realize the food in them are bad especially if you don't know the history. this semester made me change my eating habits not saying i m going to be a vegetarian but I m going to look closely into what i m eating cause i m not the one who is suffering the animals are.
People need to be more aware of what they're eating and be more educated about whats happening to these animals. Maybe many Americans should stop eating from places where they treat their animals cruelly because there are some companies that actually buy their meat from places who treat their animals un-cruel. Once again I feel we as humans should educate ourselves about where are food as come from and whet we are eating and educate other Americans as well because once person changing makes a huge difference in a period amount of time and how healthy our body becomes.
