local food movement

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZcbq4JNuto

First off in this video they talk about how they preffer local food because they like helping around their community and they get to meet new people and its fresh and healthy. Second of all, all the speakers were women and old peopl buying at the food market. The old people like it because they get lonely and they get to walk around and talk to people, I doubt they care if its healthy or not, much rather use it as an excuse. I do however agree that people have the choice to buy and eat what they want. Its there life so they shouldn't deicede whats good for others, just for themselves.

enviornment and food

in his talk he discussesabout how its getting hotter every year and how this heat might affect the growth of the food that is grown. First of I want to point out that the earths temperature changes all the time, the only reason we see it get hotter is because now we have technology to actually measure the temperature unlike back in the day were we werent sure what the difference was. Second he didnt really explain how it might affect it.

This guy talks about how we are the ones to make a difference in what we eat. If one person, the president, does not make that change than its up to us to make that change. I thought his talk was rather interesting and I do like how he is preffereing to move forward rather then to move back. And by that I mean that he doesn't think of getting rid of packaged food and such but rather get people to eat more healthy. And I think that is the right thing because we already know whats healthy but we eat whats cheaper and tastes better. If we can get it in our heads to eat healthier then maybe we just will and prices of healthier foods will go down in a way.

Genetically modifed food

I have always heard about genetically modified food having chemicals added to it so it has more nutrition to it and thats a bad thing. And that its better to get organic food because its more natural and even MORE healthier then the genetically modified food. So who shouldI believe? we have had genetically modiefied food for years and not once have I heard someone dying of that food they eat, nor have I heard someone die of organic food. If their is no evidence against genetically modified food being poisonis then I believe its up to the peopl to decided which one is better and or which they want. cased closed.
