Food Inc. Articles

Reflection

Article 1 The Financial Crisis and world Hunger
I thought that this article brought up a very interesting topic about the financial crisis and how it connects to food crisis. With the story in the beginning it really set the mood of the rest of the ARTICLE. I really enjoy how the story went from a small bank "an institution that provides microcredit" to a world-wide buisness.

Article 2 Cheap Food

I think the Cheap Foods article were my favorite cause it really kept my wanting to read more. The information on immigration policies that "guarantee cheap labor" was really interesting because in the article it admitted that slavery still exist on farms and theres been numerous cases investigated but theres still more cases out there that have been undectected

Article 3 Fileds of Poison

This article talks about the pesticides that goes into growing our crops. In the third page it has a list of pesticides and and if it part of the Bad Actor. Info about the pesticides and which fields it's being use is hard to find because it's not fund as much. Info like this very important to inform consumers about how and what it takes to produce our crops.

Article 4 The Scope of the World Food Crisis

In this article they stated the reality of this crisis, which is the rise of cost of food, with a statics about the rise of malnourished people had dramatically gone up. In this article it talked about the reason behind this disaster, which are droughts that happening all over the world, population growth, " misguided international and national policies", etc... One solution for this problem is for countries to have independence from imports. What I read this article it made me very concerned about my future and my children's future, it seems it is very unstable. I just imagine how much more expensive its gonna be in ten or twenty yeaars (if we make it past 2012)

2.

My favorite article is the Cheap Food one. This is my favorite one because it kept wanting more and there was just so many information that I didn't know. I think it's importnt that people know where and how much it cost us to make our crops, to know how much unfairness goes in the policies that the government makes.
