All the others sucks, but local sustainable rocks!
How should Americans be fed? Is it through the industrial food chain or perhaps the hunter-gatherer food chain, nope none of them are as good as the local sustainable food chain. The industrial food chain is a chain where a single crop is grown in a big field and later ends up in places like supermarkets or fast-food restaurants. The hunter- gatherer food chain is just when one grows, hunts, or finds their own food. The local sustainable food chain is a chain where different kinds of crops and animals are raised in small farms. The food made from this chain does not have to be processed and travels short distances to places like a farmer’s market. The best food chain that should be used …show more content…
In the book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, the author says, “No fossil fuels or added fertilizer or chemicals needed” (Pollan 148). That delineates that it causes less pollution because fossil fuels pollutes the air and chemicals pollutes the air and land, so if there are no fossil fuels and chemicals needed that will greatly reduce pollution. In the article titled, “What’s Wrong With Local Food? Local and Organic Food and Farming: The Gold Standard”, the author says, “since the shorter the distance food travels, the lower the greenhouse gas emissions” If the food travels short distances, there will be less carbon dioxide that goes into the air, which also means less air pollution. The local sustainable food chain results in less pollutants being released in the …show more content…
In the book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, the author says, “It means not being able to buy a tomato in December. It means giving up many processed foods” (Pollan 191). That does prove a point of the local sustainable food being seasonal as a bad thing. But the author also says, “food actually tastes better when it is fresh, in season”. So that proves that it being seasonal is really a good thing because you get fresh food, which is good, and you’ll probably might never eat processed food which is also good for one’s health, although it might suck, it’s worth it. The author says, “all of the costs are figured into the price… of anti-biotic resistance, of food-borne illnesses, of crop subsidies” (Pollan 185). That quote right there illuminates the fact that healthy food are actually cheap if the hidden costs were not factored in, which makes the food being expensive okay. Although, the local sustainable food chain might have some opposition like it costs too much and is seasonal, it’s worth the sacrifices knowing that the real deal is being
