Before seeing the film Food Inc. I had no idea where the food I was eating came from. I was like most people out there, I would simply go to the supermarket and bought what I needed without even wondering where all these items came from. After watching the film I realized how nowadays our foods do not come from traditional family farms. The foods we are eating now come from factory-owned farms where animals are abused, forced to live in tight spaces, and genetically engineered to grow at a faster rate. These factory owned farms and GMO's have allowed our food products to feed a larger population and for prices to be cheaper. For example, it is cheaper to buy a meal from the dollar menu than to purchase fruits and vegetable at a supermarket. Unfortunately families with financial problems really do not have a choice. Food from the dollar menu may be cheaper but it may be more expensive in the long run. Also, how much quality can you expect from a $1 hamburger at a fast food place?
