hidden truth about food.
Hidden truth about food.
Nigar Choudhuryeng 101,0781Everyday i take train to go to work and pass by some fast food restaurent.Mcdonald's is one of them. It's delicious smell makes me crazy. As a reason, i eat at least one berger and some potato fries everyday, no matter i am full or hungry. Also i had an blind belief that american food are pure and healthy...since i am from a third world country Bangladesh.In the movie "Food, Inc"filmmaker Robert Kenner exposs deep truth about how food are being processed and industrialized. He focused lot of issues in this movie and left me ask questioning what's our everyday's meal menu?Of course it is not out of chicken, beef, pork potatoes tomatoes ,pitzza or berger.However, majority of people of the united states buy food from supermarket. As supermarket's goods are cheaper than organic food, almost all of the goods are made up with the ingredient of high fructosed suger. Tometoes look red but they are ripen with apolin gas.Baby chickens grow faster within 49 days instead of three months. On the other hand, wide breasted chickens are injected with chemical and cows are contaminating diseases with other cows for having no enough room.various kind of oil in the supermarkets are mixed with soye seed. These pictures open my eyes and persue me to think about what are we eating.As Mcdonald,s are handaling most potato companies and chicken farm and they are profited by selling cheap and delicious food. Now i can picture Mcchicken, chicken nugget or beef berger,s taste and feel vomiting by thinking the way these meat come from farm to restaurent.The most socking truth is barbara who lost her son with E. coli after eating hamberger.From this incedent how much strict solution did our government take to protect us from poisonus food.The another truth that shocked me again is that farm owners use illigal workers from Maxico, Latin america to produce better food. They bring them by bus in the dark night and use them by paying minimum wages. When police arrest them and put in jail. They don't keep up their families. Their life become dust to the farm owner, while they fly in the air. This illegal process never stops. They keep bringing those illigal and uneducated workers over and over.To the truth, we the people have to eat for our servival, have to be educated not mean that by certificate. Have to have knoledge about nutrtion.After watching this movie, i have an idea that our life garuntee is ours. So we can make ourselves healthier by chossing healthier food. And at the same time i promised myself that no more mcdonald's again and no cheaper food from supermarket.Also.to eliminate epidemic of diabetes, we have to avoid corn product. Though organic food is expensive it is healthier and we can make a choice for our healthier life.To the end, one trgedy is reflecting again in my mind is beg for water, the boy who died by E.coli.Barbara, his mom passed seven years after losing him and dedicated herself to protect poisonous food supply in the merkets. in my opinion, we all can take food safety to ourselve and keep voice to our government that they should firmly handle the food industry.
