eat has changed more in the last fifty years than in the previous 10‚000. The film Food‚ Inc. sheds a ghastly light on corporate farming and the industrialization of the food industry. It uses several perspectives ranging from a chicken farmer that is cutting ties with oppressive Perdue‚ to inside the very plants that chemically treat massive amounts of meat to illustrate just how unnatural and dangerous today’s food can be. The movie is devided into three main segments. The first focuses on the inhumane

GMOs have become a necessary evil for us to try and find innovative solutions to our growing demand for food production due to the continued increase of our global population. If you think about it we have been genetically modifying food and animals for centuries since the birth of modern agriculture and animal husbandry.

Furthermore‚ similar to you‚ I thought it was highly important to provide a clear definition of a GM or GMO product at the beginning of my primary task. In addition‚ you cited an exceedingly interesting fact‚ one I had not found during my research‚ that in almost all study cases the GM crops produced 6 to 11 percent less yields for studied soybean crops (Exposed: the great

The most common animal food products labeling debates are about dairy cows and chickens. This is where the saying “you are what you eat” applies. When a cow is treated with recombinant bovine somatotrophin‚ or rbST‚ the milk from that cow will also contain rbST.

For most of us we prefer to eat fresh food over canned food any day because of the fresh factor. Fresh food tends

For example‚ you may not find all the ingredients you need in one grocery‚ yet you have to look in several groceries until you find all the ingredients. Home-made food is much healthier than fast food‚ and therefore
