Now disgusted with our food system

After watching the video, “What’s wrong with out food system” I began to think about the foods I eat. I know when I think of getting food the two words come to mind is fast and tasty. Usually, I would find myself going through a drive-thru without even thinking when I am hungry or just grabbing a burger and fries from the closest restaurant. I would only worry about how long it would take for the food to get out to me, or how it tasted. I never considered what the food I was eating was doing to my body or how it was made. I believe, like many people do, we are raised to not think of those things when picking what to eat. Even when eating food bought from the super market, that is seeming healthy, can still be harmful to your body. I honestly don’t remember the last time I had food knowing where it came form, especially meat. Now that I think about my food I eat, I am repulsed.

Living on campus, in the dorms, I believe it is even harder to try to eat organic, or know where any of my food comes from. Not having a car on campus I am forced to eat at the supplied cafeterias on campus. I have not ran into a place that offers these organic alterative or information on the whereabouts they got this food.  

Before watching this little kid shine light on this controversial subject in class, I would have stayed in this sheltered bubble many of us live in. I am glad my eyes are now open to these issues, although with it in mind every time I eat, I wish I didn’t come to this realization.
