Food.Inc Movie Response



Throughout this documentary I couldn’t ignore the fact that this world revolves around a supply and demand economy so why is it that we are bashing a bunch of companies that have found a way to do both. If the people that consumed their product stopped, it would change the food industry. Just because some people say they don’t want it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be supplied. True, the industries just care about money not the health of people but it’s the same consumers that made it that way.
             A line that made total sense to me was “If you can grow a chicken in 49 days why would you want one that grows in 3 months”. The answer that would be received by most people will be yes, because the main goal is to get more money to continue paying workers, rent or mortgage and to be able to continue their business, unless you are a unprofitable food factory which is unlikely. If we want to change this it has to start from the leaves not the roots like the society are trying to do. It never works that way. Society is trying to make it seem like it’s the business owner’s fault and it really isn’t, it’s the consumer’s fault. If you think fast food is bad change it, do what you have to do to eat healthy. All you have to do is pretend there was no junk and live by those rules, its that easy and I know it is because i have done it for a year.

Actions speaks louder than words

This was prompted by a question asked by Leah, what is  my perspective on Modern Dating Trends and its innovation. First of all, one word that everyone is used to out of the three is Dating. Dating is where two people who are attracted to each other spend time together to see if they also can stand to be around each other most of the time, if this is successful they develop a relationship, although sometimes a relationship develops anyways if the people can't find anybody else to date them, or are very lonely or one person is only attracted to the other and pretends to be in love with the second unfortunate person who has the misunderstanding that they have found love. This occurs quite often and eventully leads to something called cheating. I like this definition because it doesn't sugarcoat anything. Says it plain and simple. To me though I'd rather just I'm just getting to know you. I don't date. Just because I say I like you or love shouldn't mean anything ...

Assignment #1 : Comparing the 19th Century food to that of the 21th Century

             I am writing about how the food from the 19 th Century was better than that of the food we eat in the 21 st Century. Throughout history the food industry has been blasted for their part in obesity. This is because people from the early days ate healthy and natural food items rather than preserved items which must be approved as healthy but is not really if the Nutritional facts are read in the back of every product bought from the grocery store or market             In the 19 th Century food in Ghana, food from my country was gotten from people’s farms because we were a hunting and gathering society. Every family had their own farm where they planted what was need, whether to sell to others or for their own need. My grandmother still goes by the old life style which is by having her own where she grows corn, tomatoes, pepper and many times of fruits in...
