How has our food has changed?

Our food has been changing and changing drastically. Over the years everything has become bigger meats, fruit, vegetables, and breads etc. This is because our food now has many things added to it to make it bigger, last longer, grow faster, and taste better. we used to farm with pure all natural soils, now we use fertilizers and genetically modified seeds. We spray our crops with pesticides, herbicides MSG and more to stop animals from eating it and make them grow faster etc.

Our meat has definitely changed alot. The first thing that has changed it the diets of the animals that we consume, before cows used to eat grass now they eat corn because it is filling and cheap, but corn is low in vitamins and nutrients which means if the cows arnt getting the nutrients they need we probably arnt getting the ones we need from the beef. The second thing is that our meats are injected with steroids to make the meat bigger so that it is more appealing to the customer because it can feed more people. Meat companies try to say that this stuff is okay it doesn't make a difference and that its healthy but the number of people who are obese have tripled in the last 30 years.

A new thing that has become popular in the last fifty years is that processed food can now be frozen. A lot of people think this is the greatest thing ever because they can stock up on food on payday and save it and have it last a long time, but in reality this isn't good for you. This frozen food may taste good but when you think about it that frozen lunch your eating has been frozen for up to 9 months already that's gross! Also there are so many preservatives in that lunch that shouldn't be there, if they where supposed to be in there they would have been made with preservatives naturally. So next time when you have the choice between a hand made peanut butter sandwich and a frozen one, id choose the hand made one even if the crust isn't cut off in a cool way !
