industrial food system

The Industrial Food System is the production is the production of food. Our food is produced on farms. Most of our fruit and vegetables are produced on farms in different states and are sent to supermarkets all around the country. Most of the meats in the U.S also come from the farm. Our meats such as cows, pigs, and chickens. Before our meats
are delivered to the supermarkets all around, our meats go through a whole process of being killed and then cleaned and packaged.

The farmers and the immigrants that help out on the farm grow fruits and vegetables. The immigrants work for minimum wage and for long hours (10-12 hours) a day. When the time is right, the fruits and vegetables are picked and packaged and are sent to the supermarkets. The Industrial Food System is based on machines and people. They are based on machines and people because people and machines are the main parts to getting the food and sending it out. This is also because the machines makes everything easier for people to work with.

The people that are involved in the Industrial Food System are companies that are in the food business and the government. The companies that are in the food business are involved in the Industrial Food System because they provide everyone with food from all over the states and they try to make a profit off of the food they produced. The government is involved in the Industrial Food System as well because the government gives money to farmers to plant and grow food.

Some experiences with food itself was that I didn't know what was in it because I never bothered to read what was on the ingredients/the label. If it was food, it didn't matter much to me as long as it was something to fill my stomach up. Also if it was given to me on a plate and looked good enough to eat, it was considered as food that I could eat and wouldn't have a problem with. Now after food class, I pay closer attention to the ingredients in the food and what I am really eating.

The Industrial Food System is the primary source of the U.S nutrition because they provide us with food. It is also because that is where most of our food comes from, as well as how we get our food. Some problems that the Industrial Food System can inherent are weight problems, cause in deaths, eating disorders and cruelty towards animals (the ones we eat). The Industrial Food System can inherent these problems because the food we eat comes from all over the place. It comes from farms, restaurants, fast food places and supermarkets. Some of these places is one reason for three of the problems that the Industrial Food System can inherent, which are weight problems, eating disorders and cause in deaths. The essence of the Industrial Food System is deaths. The essence is deaths because of the problems that the Industrial Food System can create or lead to which was discussed earlier. The problems that the Industrial Food System can are just like other world deaths just like cardiovascular disease, smoking, and more.

The Industrial Food System matters because many people eat the food that is produced and sold to them. Also the food that is produced and turned into non-healthy people, it can lead to other problems and issues. The Industrial Food System tells us that we do not pay much attention to what we eat. Also that if food is put in front of us and is edible, we will pretty much just eat it. As long as it looks and smells good enough to eat, we will pretty much just eat it and settle with what it is. By knowing what we eat is of importance because the food we eat affects each and every one of us individually.
