Quite honestly,
the food industry is discussing and corrupt, along with half the other
industries we rely on now days.
It’s almost like we can’t trust anyone anymore, it’s a dog eat dog
world; a money driven world.
However, we should
realize how our world works by now. We rely on everyone else to do everything
for us, so if we give big industries that power, of course they are going to
take advantage. Do we rely on
commercials to tell us what to buy and where to buy it? We certainly are smart
enough not to.
If we are educated
about the food industry today, then it’s no one’s fault but our own what food
we eat. No one is holding a gun to our heads saying eat or die. There is a lot
of healthy food out there, we just have to take the time to do the research and
get wholesome ingredients, instead of relying on someone else to feed us.
We are a Google
era: anything is possible. We have access to the knowledge of millions of
lifetimes, why are we complaining about what we are being fed if we have the
power to research, look at labels, and not purchase those items. If anything, we have the power as
consumers. Large processed food
companies cater to our likes and dislikes. If we stop buying, they stop
thriving. Simple as that.
I think we have so
much power, but we give it to these large junk food corporations. They engineer and modify their food
according to what we buy, it’s a bit silly to turn around and place the blame
on them. They are just trying to make money as any company would.
We need to stop being
lazy. There are many cheap ways to eat and live healthy. We need to think for ourselves and give
ourselves, and our children the power of knowledge. We need to make choices for ourselves and suffer consequences
based on our actions. If you eat unhealthy, obesity might be faced. We can’t
really blame it on fast food companies because we are the ones who pay to put
it in our mouths.
Even some of the
heads in the fast food industry make the choice to stray away from their very
own products. They make their own choice based on what they know and what they
want for themselves. So let’s make our own choices and our own diet. Let the companies try and make their
money, but we have the power.
