The Importance Of Foreign Food

Decent Essays
As for why our government allow foreign foods into our markets for one thing it promotes better foreign relations but is also serves as a buffer to have a system up and running if a disaster hit our farms because of storms or drought we 'll still have the food items the public demands because the system is in place allowing those food items from foreign countries. Also by receiving food from other countries gives our farmers land management opportunities to rotate crops or to cease growing on one plot of land while developing another and by doing so it prevents famines in our country. One product chemical fertilizers, I bet you don 't like those, also help in increase the yield of crops while promoting longer use of the land but rotating crops …show more content…
You tell me today who is keeping Black people from establishing their own grocery stores and specializing in products from Black farmers, of course that also means establishing the infrastructure necessary to support a modern grocery store such as a bakeries making breads, etc., milk refinery for purifying milk and making butter and bottling and packaging the products for the market, therefore it means total production what I keep speaking of that is continuously not addressed in replies to the messages I put out by Blacks.

I have to wonder why Blacks refuse to join me with my advocacy for us to become self sufficient in all areas of modern human existence, that would eliminate Black unemployment Blacks would even have to hire people from other races to meet our demand to produce everything we use. My father 's father, my grandfather, had his own farm and sold his products himself throughout the city and surrounding counties. My grandmother never worked outside their home they had many children all grew up to adulthood living in my grandparents large

Blacks depend on whites for all the important stuff they need to survive. What do you think will happen when white people realize they don 't need Black people and all the problems Blacks bring to the cities and they can review the posting of Blacks in these AOL chat rooms and others to see with all whites do for Blacks Blacks are cursing and blaming the whites for all of their problems without lifting a finger to help themselves or to help any other race.

NOW TELL ME, ISNT THAT FLINT MI. THING A TOTAL MESS? I 'M WONDERING TOO WHY ISNT THE WATER MONITORED? I HAVE SAID ONCE AND I WILL SAY AGAIN, THE 'TERRORISTS ' CAN EASILY HIT US...ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS POISON THE WATER SUPPPIES AND SPRAY THE FIELDS. ANYBODY CAN RENT A PLANE AND DO A FLY OVER WITH CHEMICALS. SMH. VERY SCARY. BUT U GET MY POINT. ANOTHER LAPSE IN AN AGENCY.

HOPING SINCE THIS HAPPENED, THEY WILL INCREASE THEIR MONITORING. BUT LIKE U SAID, FLINT IS A MAJORITY BLK CITY, I 'M SURE THERE ARE A FEW BLKS WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO HEAD THESE DEPTS. I DO BELIEVE THEY MIGHT JUST DO THE JOB BETTER (UPGRADING AND MONITORING THE WATER SYSTEMS)

I wasn 't wondering why the water wasn 't tested it was tested whites tested the water they are the ones that contributed to the warming going out that the water was contaminated with

    Makayla Callan Helmic Writing February 22, 2015 Flint Water Crisis Flint has been having big problems with water since 2014, causing lead poisoning and making people sick. All of this is because they want to save money or so people thought. Is it true that Flint wanted to save money? That question was answered by an email from Motor City Muckraker which shows that they would have saved 800 million dollars in 30 years than switching to the Karegnondi Water Authority.

In his article “Attention Whole Foods Shoppers”, Robert Paarlberg discusses recent food policy of Western countries, according to which food products should be organic and local.

While in the West food becomes more and more exquisite, poor countries become deprived of the most basic food products, such as rice, wheat, and others. Paarlberg emphasizes that helping developing countries is no more a trend today and the world market is justified…

    In 1865, The Civil War had ended and the era of Reconstruction had begun. The South was in need of serious reconstruction, not only from the loss of free labor due to the Emancipation Proclamation, which had abolished slavery in the United States, but from the battles of the Civil War itself. In this time, Federal soldiers occupied the southern states enforcing the new laws and amendments which had granted African Americans new freedoms as citizens of the nation. African Americans, though free, were segregated from the White’s facilities and education systems. Inspired by their opportunities as free men and women, African American communities quickly began to set up schooling systems, and encouraged one another to educate themselves with hopes that wisdom may hold the key to ending the racial discrimination and inequality they faced in free America.…

    Therefore it is time to take a different approach we need to open our mouths and let out voices be heard so that others are aware of our pain. It is hard to be on the outside looking in. However the more awareness this nation has of how black America is treated and is less privilege the closer we are to change. In my opinion I hate when I hear “Black Lives Matter” because “All Lives Matter.” However at this point we need to see that black America are the ones who needs to be brought to the surface because white America sees otherwise…
