People's bottom line on food

I still remember a certain time in elementary school on the way home from the Qingming Festival for martyrs, a classmate pointed to a pool of muddy water on the side of the road and asked: "If you are dying of thirsty, there is no other supply, only to see this. Shoal sewage, would you drink it?"
I don't remember to answer now . I guess there are supporters on both sides. I should belong to the type of "if I drink it, why don't you drink it".
At the beginning of the 21st century, I went to a tourist attraction. I ran out of water on a hot day. I couldn't find a store to buy it. On the side of the road, there were a half-bottle of mineral water. If someone stopped me at the time, I don’t know if I will eventually use the water left over by others.
I have read some related knowledge about food safety, such as "What food is the sky for the people", "Additives in Food" and the "Food Company" I watched last night. I believe that the problems with food are definitely not only in the works. Describe these, but I don’t plan to watch this type of work anymore. If the state of existence can only be this, and I am unable to change anything, it is better to control my food purchase and try to treat my diet in the healthiest way.
The essence of food is to make people survive, followed by nutrition, color, aroma, and taste, but now food seems to be unable to achieve even the basic requirements for survival. , Who cares? !
My own requirements for the color and flavor of the food are not high, just non-toxic, but now who can tell whether the things on the market are toxic or not, so there are countless standards that a certain bacteria is safe within a certain index , And this so-called security is only known to God.
As far as I can remember, my dad’s hobby is growing vegetables, all kinds of vegetables and melons. When I was a child, I would go to my father’s work place to bring a basket of vegetables home every morning during the summer vacation until the factory closed. Then my father drove the vegetable field to the door of the house, which was much easier. Relatively speaking, I don’t get too much pesticide, thanks to my dad’s hard work catching insects on the vegetable soil every day.
I think the bottom line of people’s food should be determined by their living conditions. People who don’t have food want to have it, those who have food want to eat well, and those who eat well need to eat healthily, and every stage of this is accompanied by social factors. Development. When society develops to a certain stage, the food industry is monopolized by various groups, and businessmen apply science and technology to the food industry. No one is worried and hungry, so a new cycle begins.

    Eric Schlosser: These companies fight, tooth and nail, against labeling. The fast food industry fought against giving you the calorie information. They fought against telling you if there is trans-fat in your food. The meat packing idustry for years prevented country-of-origin labeling. They fought not to label genetically modified foods; and now 70% of processed food in the supermarket has some genetically modified ingredient.

  • Eric Schlosser: These companies have legions of attorneys. And they may sue, even if they know they can't win, just to send a message.
