My thoughts on the politics of food

After learning many new things about the food industry in this unit my mindset has changed about our country. I learned that our country will do anything possible for a profit. I did not know about the process of how our food is made and developed and how there are a lot of secrets that are kept in producing the foods we eat. I also learned that food companies do not care about our health or what harms they can create. My consciousness  is a little different then before on the choices I make for certain foods to eat I now think before I eat. After finding out the things I know now it has made me become more aware of how food politics is such a problem in the world. If I could go back 4 years with the knowledge I know now of the food industry I would change how I ate and I would be more couscous with many foods I ate. The things I would do to change or influence the food industry is inform people what they are really putting in their bodies because everyone has a right to know. I'd make fruits and vegetables cheaper than junk foods, and encourage people to develop their own foods and inform people to cut down on junk food eating which can cause serious problems if it is eating a lot. Am I the only one who now thinks carefully before eating certain foods now from this unit?
