Every article I have read since we have begun this unit discusses how to eat smart and know more about the process of food. But, these articles didn't give me any knew knowledge I wasn't aware of before. I was simply just given more insight of the food corporation. I assume the average American knows their food just doesn't appear on their plate. So obviously they know where is comes from. Average Americans also know the difference of organic and not; and the difference of McDonald’s and a home cooked meal. Since the average American is not completely oblivious to where their food originated from, why do food politicians constantly write about the need for the consumer to be informed? Have they ever thought we know that we are eating a McDonald’s chicken nugget, whose meat came from a poorly raised chicken that was never exposed to the sunlight? I know where my meat came from but I’m still eating it. All the seniors taking ERW are now aware of how animals and plants are raised for food, but who has actually tried to change their life style according to a food politician’s advice? We now have been informed but not changing anything. Is it because it is not that big of a priority to us? If we know the process of food and choose not to change, why do people expect America to change?
