NEW FOOD PROBLEM

Cook’’s intfographic shocked me again. I mean again because I have already read some similar articles about the problems of the chicken industry in America. There is also a video of it which is introduced to me by my friends. While she talked it with me, she said that she would never eat chicken except organic chicken, and she persuaded me not eat also. The food industry is really a problem. Same as the introduction to Estabrook’s Tomatoland, which writes that what we eat today are all the commercial food, which is tasteless and includes less nutrition.  To be honest, there are a lot of problems recently of Chinese food, I felt very worried about eating outside when I was in China. After I went to America, I talked to myself that even it may not taste very good, but it must be healthy. Whereas, after my friend told me about this problem of American food industry, I felt worried again. In the modern world, it seems that we can eat much better than the ancient people. We can eat watermelon in winter; we can enjoy more tasted chicken; we can buy milk, eggs and meat at lower prices. But actually we eat more artificial thing, chemical fertilizer, and hormone. They are not poison, but they are also not good to our health. I think we must try to solve this problem. It is very difficult, because it is related to the high population today. But we must try our best to find a good solution for it.

             Pollan’s writes about another trend of American’s eating habit. That is the vegetarianism.  The animal rights campaigner, who always argue that animals and human are equal, we have no rights eat them. Especially treat them in some very inhuman way. For example, I have read a report wrote that in order to make the beef delicate, people keep the new born calf far away from iron, so the calf can’t even stand. Sometimes, we are very cruel when we treat other animals. These voices affect people’s choices of food a lot.Meet your meat
