Politics of Food

Reading these articles and writing my research paper, has shed a new light on food for me. I’ll probably never look at food the same way again. However, I will most likely still keep eating it. I’ll just be more cautious of what I eat now. I cannot explain the amount of disgust I felt when I found out how they were treating these animals and what they were fed. I have always wanted to change my eating habits, and I think this just may have been the push I have needed. What I do not understand is why healthy food is a lot more expensive than junk food. I should not have to pay more to eat healthier. It also disgusts me how major fast food and junk food companies care more about their profits than people’s health. We, as the American people have to change the demand of food.
