Blog Reflection: Consider your food system: What do you like and do not like about your food.

It is unfortunate today, that the drive for easy acquisition of capital under the excuse of an augmenting population has influenced coorporations to take over the natural way of growing food and animals. The manipulation of our food in order to produce more in a short period of time has rendered our food tasteless and unnutritiuos. Needless to mention that the environmental impacts associated with our food production are tremendously distructive. I dislike the high cost of nutritious food, especially living in a country like Canada, local grown food are not available all year round. The distance that our food travel in Canada is a factor that bothers me as well. Furthermore, the genetic modification of crops through biotechnology is poorly monitored. It deeply troubles me that companies like Monsanto has granted themselves the right to manipulate our natural crops and impose their evil commercial product on private farmers. However, I find that having a garden at home in the summer is a wonderful way of growing some of the vegetables that I love eating.  However, having more natural greenhouse plants all year round in Winnipeg would be very beneficial. The atrocious commercial ways by which our animals are treated are unhumane. I believe that it is our responsibilty as consumers to object  and take actions against the horrendous treatment of our animals. The government should support local farmers and natural agriculture in order to grant the right to every individual of this planet to nutritious food. Thus, hopefully we can reduce the atrocious disease caused by unnatural food and terminate our dreadful way of treating animals.
