Entry#3
Watching the film Food , Inc. Make me reflect on what we eat . Are we really eating healthy. After seeing how farmers used large amounts of fertilizer and pesticides to grow their corps make me realize that healthy foods is not as healthy as it appears. We are not only eating vegetables with nutrients and fertilizers that are affecting our health. The high cost of organic foods makes hard for families of low income to obtain .Than has no choice that consume cheaper food that in many cases are poor quality. But families do what they have to do to feed their families . Big corporations are the only one who profits form it , because they do not really care of the quality and standards used on the farming, processing or delivering of products to groceries stores.
Their main concern is to provide food to costumers. On the other hand the high increase of population demands more food and the only way to keep up with the high demand . Sadly but true farmers have to follow corporation guidelines on how they farm in order to keep up with the demand and maintain a contract with the company. Forgetting in many cases ethical standards. Through the years farm workers union had working hard with big corporations to implement safe ways to use fertilizers used on their corps.
The cruelty on how animals are treated is only one side of how animals are really treated. They are not longer animals when farmers sign a contract with a company , they become a number of production.
As population continue growing , big corporation will continue using the same practices and implementing new technology advances to keep up with the demand of food.
