Secrets behind the Industry

            The food industry thinks that it is more sanitary to produce and package their food in a factor, than naturally produced by a farmer. I disagree with this because there has been factories that produced and sent out food products with E Coli, factories want to put bacteria in the food to make more money, they also are packaging food and sending it out without it being completely sanitary. Therefore our food that we purchase at the market should be raised, produced, and packaged in a farm by a farmer.

            A logical reason for food to be produced and packaged by a farmer instead of a food factory is the disease factories have sent out. In the movie Food Inc. one factory one factory sent out meat with E Coli and didn’t put out a recall on it until it was too late for a young boy. This has happened more than once. I’m sure if a farmer sent that meat out it would have most likely not have had E Coli in it, and if it did a recall would have been sent out immediately.

            Food factories now want to put ammonia in the meat products to keep it from going bad so fast. They also want to do this to bring more money into the factories. This is a secret, but the truth, well as we all know ammonia can kill a human being. So why in the heck would we people want to eat something so harmful to our bodies?  One thing to remember, if food was to be produced and packaged in a farm, prices will surely rise in the market. Why? It is a more hard working and longer process.

            However people wouldn’t like the way the factories are sanitizing the food before packaging it. Most people don’t know that while raising cows and chickens, the factory is letting them sit in their own shit. Gross! That’s just the beginning of it. When they began the slaughtering to package the meat they aren’t cleaning the poop off the animal’s right. So in other words they are still covered in their own poop.

            Therefore, would people rather have food produced, sanitized, and packaged in a farm? As for me I rather go with the farm. I think it would also be more healthy, and don’t forget more sanitary. We wouldn’t have to worry about anything killing us next time we bite into a piece of meat. So I think I clearly stated that the factories producing our meat are junk and the farmers need to speak up and run things right.
