Good Effect of Science on Food
Most of the media tells people that using additive substances to the food we eat will bring bad effects to our body. As we can see from the newspaper and magazine’s articles, food additives such as aspartame can cause nausea and headache. For long term use it can cause hallucination. Instead of seeing the bad effects of applying science for food, we also need to know the good effects of science on food. There are a lot of good effects of science on food, not only the bad things like what media emphasizes on us.
First of all, by applying science to our food, we can store the food for longer period than before. Knowledge of science can be applied in order to create additive substances that will make the food uneasy to rot. In the other hand, applying science to create a good package for the food is also important. Because using wrong material for packaging can damage the food or even make the food easy to rot. Longer store period for food is important because sometimes we need to bring some food when we want to go camping or travelling. Therefore in order to make life easier, applying science on food gives us a good effect to make things easier for people.
The other good effect is increasing the quality of the food. Applying the science on food can result in better and bigger food. We use fertilizer to grow plants and hormone for livestock. Also we can make the food taste better by additive ingredients. All those application of science to our food lead us to the better living than before.
In the other hand, the price of the food becomes cheaper than before. We will find out that is easier for every farmer to grow the plants and raise livestock, so we find it easy to find several types of food in the large number in the market. If we can find large number of food in market, the price also becomes cheaper than usual. In the good part is, when the food becomes cheaper, people are

    Food quality is improved because there is less fungal infection, insect damage and residual pesticide. In conclusion to the topic of Genetically Modified Organisms, there is still much to learn, more to research and more to understand. There will be two sides to what is happening how it is affecting and who it is affecting. Scientist will need to do more research to learn the positives and negatives of this process and why do we need to do this. Who will benefit from doing this?…

    Another area where technology was applied to our food production process was through crops. In the 1930’s scientists developed a hybrid seed for corn, this hybrid had stronger stalks that resisted being blown over and it allowed farmers to plant the crop closer together (Food, Inc. Discussion Guide). Resulting in higher yields, “100 years ago a farmer in America could grow maybe 20 bushels of corn on an acre. Today, 200 bushels is no problem” (Food, Inc.). With the surplus of corn, scientists were able to develop more uses for it. A couple of examples include corn-based ethanol fuel, high-fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, etc. Even though the technological advances mentioned above are astounding, one can’t help but wonder how these changes are affecting…

    The book I chose to read for my summer homework was In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan. Pollan has written many books regarding what to eat and how the foods we consume affect us. In this book, he opens with simple advice, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly Plants” (Pollan 1). As straightforward as it sounds, Pollan quickly demonstrates how complicated this can be. Food is all around us. However, there are whole foods, stuff you’d find at a farmer’s market, and then there are the foods that line up the walls of our supermarkets, highly processed snacks and “foods” that contain a mirade of unpronounceable ingredients. Many of these foods processed foods, especially those that make health claims such as “low-fat”, “lowers…

    The one thing that remains the same is change is always occurring. As the world changes, so are human beings, especially in the way they are living to cope in the world. A big area of change has been with the aspect of food. Advancements in technology and research has changed the way our food is grown, processed, preserved, and even consumed. Agriculture used to be considered a way to nourish the human race. Now commercial agriculture has put profits over providing nourishment. It has negatively affected our environment as well as the people who are hungry, under nourished and over nourished. Nevertheless, there is still a prevalence of processed and conventionally grown foods, which continues to impact our health and our environment. Therefore,…

    The technological advances that specified with agricultural innovations helped food production grow and helped farmers produce more and make a bigger profit. The Wheat Yields of India and Mexico grew almost 4 times as much since about 1950 when the Green Revolution really progressed (doc 1). The technology that helped breed crops led farmers to produce more of specific crops which caused more crops that were needed to sell. This actually helped out the world tremendously. IN the 1850s and early 1900s the amount of food supply barely met the population need. After the Green Revolution in the 1940s and 1950s, food supply was never scarce, rather, it exceeded the population which was obviously beneficial to many globally (doc 2). Like said previously, the more crops there were due to scientifically breeding crops the bigger the profit the farmers made. Mrs. Dula, a wife of a Mexican agricultural officer, said in 1970, “They have such a lot of money. The ladies of these rich Mexican farmers like to save, so they form a club, and once a month they go to Tucson (to shop). Some saving! (doc 6)” The additional document that would be needed to make…
