Homesteading (28): Fast food companies and agroconglomerates

[BobbySoFamous]

Food Inc is amazing. A real eye opener, and heart breaker at times. If you're keen on torrents you can find it pretty quick

Oh, no, it gets worse.

It's not even just Fast Food, it's ALL food.

If it comes in a box, bag, microwavable insta, the entire food system is wonk.

The only way to get anything close to 'real' food is either be rich or grow it yourself. The poor are having major obesity rates because the cheep unhealthy food, is PURPOSELY set up to be all they can afford.

Have you seen 'The Future of Food' made in 2007?

Might wanna check it out if you haven't.

@redwolfmoonhowl I have not heard of The Future of Food and will check it out - it's an interesting area and I would like to see what its view is...

[redwolfmoonhowl]

@ivankinsman 'The Future of Food' is mostly about crops, how companies are genetically altering and then -patenting- them. Basically, Monopolizing crop seeds.

Honestly, when you really dive into trying to find out about your food here in America... It's pretty scary.

I don't mean to sound like a conspiracy freak, but... When you watch TV and all the commercials, you can't help but think somethings up. Like... 'Hospital making people sick so it can keep making money off them' kinda deal?

idk

Since they sent all our manufacturing jobs over seas... fast food is all we have left. They would have sent that over seas too but they can't figure out how to keep the fries warm on the ocean freighter that long... lol.
