Food Process In America

Decent Essays
I believe that the food process in America are so contingent on other courtiers’ market. I think this because so many of food in the country is not produce in America. We relay on other countries for production of food because it is cheaper and easier for other countries to produce food then it is in the Untied States. If one country can not produce enough food or something happen to the production this can not only effect the country that is producing this product but America because we relay to much on other countries. I think the only way that we can eliminate this problem is that we do not produce as much food in other countries as we do now. If we produce more food in the United States, then we would not have to relay on other countries

    What we are consuming, how much we are consuming, how products are being marketed, and our level of knowledge are all contributors to the problem America faces with food. The biggest problem with American culture is what kind of foods we are ingesting, how much we are ingesting, and how foods are being advertised to us. When a person sees a label that says, “Low Fat, Low Carbs, Sugar Free, etc.,” they get excited and jump on it. What these people do not realize is it might be low in one thing but high in another.…

    In the article, “Food Security: The Challenge of Feeding 9 Billion People,” published on January 28, 2010, Charles Godfray asserts that because of the continuing growing population and the growth of food consumption, the demand for food will increase for at least 40 years due to the lack of certain factors which could prevent the issues being faced with the demand for food. Godfray supports his implication by supplying the reader with a variety of causes as to why the demand for food has continued to rise such as the yield gap, production limits, the change of diets, yet at the same time provides solutions to these certain complications which could reduce the demand for so much food. Moreover, Godfray wishes to convey the readers into understanding the importance of reducing the impact of the food system on the environment and the certain precautions or actions that can be taken in order to better the situation by creating a “multifaceted and linked global strategy” to…
