Entry #5 - ♫ I'll Keep You My Dirty Little Secret - Who has to know? ♫

Food...

When settlers first settled in America,

food demand was not as much of a concern, and farmers of all sorts were able to keep up with the needs of every American. As America's population increased the demand for rations followed, which became bit of a concern to farmers, as they could no longer keep up with the vast growing population.


From this tremendous incline of America's population there was a sudden demand for faster food production, without any regards to possible health issues.





This sudden demand also resulted in a trillion dollar market of fast food chains, which has spread around the world. Like everything that is sooooooo good, these delectable greatness, came at a price...

So, I would like to say the video that was presented in class has impacted the way I now see our everyday food we consume. It was all astonishing by the things that are going on in slaughterhouses across the nation, the amounts of dangerous chemicals in our everyday foods, not to forget the amount of greed there is amongst American businesses. It makes me think a lot about my kids health, as well as my own. The video also has me think of how much freedom people, whom live on the reservation, have to be able to harvest and herd their own food without any threat of any attempts of law suits by any agency.
