Social and Technology effecting food in America
1. Introduction
This report will talk about the the processed fast food, production in the United
States, the way that they are consumed, and how these process food affect
the american’s people health. The report will look at the social and
technology used in the United States that has effected the way that food is in
production, consumption and the health and well being of the people in the United
States.
1.1.1 The technology used in America are the use of Genetical Modified foods
as become a big part of the processed foods, has increased portion sizes
because of the larger yield that have have been produced and portion sizes
of grown and now this is effects the health …show more content…
According to Fast Food Nation, “In 1970, Americans spend about
$6 billion on fast food; in 2000, they spent more than $110 billion.”(3)

Americans have spent an abundance sum of money on fast food shows how fast
food has become more apart of the American culture. Processed fast foods is
produced in greater quantities and is able to be sold cheaper, fast option in
America fast food chains. The main purpose of the processed are made to with
stand self life for a longer amount of time and made in big quantities. Stated in the
Fast Food Nation, “What people eat (or don’t eat) has always been determined by
a complex interplay of social, economic and technology forces. (3)

The technology of
the food production has effected the way that food is made and how much is
made. The production of food of processed foods have been produced with the
new technology of GMO’s. GMO’s have been a big part of processed foods
because GMOs help mass produces these foods, but also give food’s a gene that
has been picked for tasting and looking better than if it was natural grown itself.
The Insider states, “Simply put, genetic modification involves manipulating the
genetic makeup of food to create or enhance characteristics that are desired by
humans.” http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/09/23/how-technology-gave-us-
cheap-food-huge-quantities-stop/#gref For example, wheat that is grown in a field
that is grown with a seed that had been made to look and taste a certain way. This
wheat will be apart of the future processed foods that are eaten in America, like a
hamburg bun. A grain that is grown with GMOs could also, be feed to an animal
that will start to consume the GMO grain and that meat will be served to
someone. Either way this GMO is being consumed as a grain or a meat. Another
example of GMOs being served would be sugar. In the article, 13 GMOs
