Have you ever heard the expression "You are what you eat." Do you even know what you're eating sometimes? Or better yet, where it is coming from?
I know I don't know very many of these answers. What I do know is that when I buy local or organic, the taste of my food is completely different. It's better. It's more "FRESH."
I recently watched the movie Fresh in my English 101 class. The movie compared our modern day food processing techniques versus growing organic. The film was able to compare and contrast how the food system works and informs everyone that buys food that isn't organic what they are actually purchasing. Did you know that our food is infested with antibiotics and pesticides?
"Americans fear inconvenience."
This is an actual quote from the movie. And I have found it to be the truth. It's easy to eat something that tastes delicious and not know that what we're eating is actually slowly killing us. We need to inform the people what is happening and change our food system before it becomes worse! In order to live long healthy lives, we must eat healthy too!
