I think it is important to educate ourselves on the background of where our food products are coming from especially when it comes to the meat we are eating. In watching movies and reading books that bring the abuse and inhumanity of meat packaging plants to life such as Fast Food Nation, it frightens me that we still do not take this subject seriously. I think people need to educate themselves because if they understand what goes on it would shock them enough to want to do something about it. Organic eating is definitely a way to go to improve and although it may be a little more expensive it is worth it to protect our health. With better policies we should be able to improve the food system.
