As we get more into this unit, I’ve become a bit more careful with what I eat. We have all seen the Food Inc. video and saw how filthy the animal houses are. It’s disgusting to see how hundreds of pigs are all squished in one barn, literally covered in their own poop which can lead to harmful diseases. This is what led me to do my research paper on how the poor quality living of factory farm animals can have a potentially negative effect on the foods we eat. While doing research on this topic, I discovered that thousands of people die every year just from eating foods like chicken or meat. What could be the cause of this? The diseases carried in the food from big companies like Tyson. These types of companies do not care if their products are harmful to their consumers, as long as they are making money out of it then they’re fine. I’m sure all of us hear things like this all the time but most of us do nothing about it because it hasn’t happened to us yet. So my question is: If more people become more involved with what is happening to the foods we eat then will companies start to change the way we take care of the farm animals? If so, then could it lower the risks of dying from food-carrying diseases?
