#7. What Society Calls "Food"

Being introduced to this agriculture by the documentary "Food Inc.", "Fresh" had the same ideas and concepts about industrialized farming versus organic farming.  Before seeing these type of documentaries, the majority of people could care less about how their food is made as long as it's tasty and well-presented.  American families today do not have the time to cook and clean for a meal so it's just much easier for families to go out and buy either processed foods or fast food meals.  I have not thought about where my food came from or how it was created before seeing these food documentaries.  It shows a whole different side of food, and it shows how we are constantly being lied to as consumers and how the producers only gain profit for our brief knowledge on food.

I believe the film did justice in showing us just how much farming has changed and how it is slowly making our food system an imitation.  There has been a rumor that has been passed around years ago, that "Kentucky Fried Chicken" changed their name to "KFC" because the government would not let "KFC" use the word chicken because it was genetically modified so it was not really considered a chicken anymore.  It seems far-fetched but no one really noticed because their face is covered in all that grease and people only seem to care about how long until they get their food instead of caring about where their food really comes from.

American families today should care about what they are feeding their children and should acknowledge how industrialized farming affects our community.  These same people that doesn't give it much attention are those that are lying in the hospital bed day in and day out and are visiting doctor offices constantly.
