Response to Blog- Food
This is a response to Dr. Johnson's blog. The food we eat is seriously disgusting. Our meat, when they are alive sit in their own waste, they are given hormones and grain when naturally cows are herbivores and she only be grazing on grass. The one thing that I do want to say though is that not all of our food is like this. Sure a majority is and when you go to McDonalds (especially! when you go to McDonalds) you are eating "mystery meat" in-between your buns. There is no denying that industry has damaged the future of food as we know it. Remember mad cow disease? It happened because the meat industry (weeks before they killed the cow) forced the cows to eat the brains and other parts of their sick brother and sister cow. Yes these ways as well as other ways are slowly poisoning and killing us (like the genetically modified food we eat Go plastic corn!) But what are we doing to escape these ways and find a normal healthy way to eat? There are organic farmers who only grass feed their cows and let them roam the pasture, however they are dying out. They are going further and further into debt because people LOVE instant gratification and was never taught to wait. It is due to the fact that just eating industrialize food is so convenient that people just decide to die for the food they eat. O YES! and then there is also the factor of cheapness, I mean people can put much deliberation and thought AND money into a new car or new flat screen TV (with surround sound) but when it comes to paying a little extra or spending more time shopping for good food that won't kill you its too much. So with that said, Why is it that people have yet to learn delayed gratification? Why do most of us depend on instant gratification to get through life?
