For decades, our civilization had live under the influence of farming and harvesting of nature’s abundance. We live off grains and vegetables, herding animals and raising livestock. What had happen to such a lifestyle that was so irreplaceable for so many decades? With the advancement of science and technology, we’ve been able to improve crop production, brought food to people’s comfort of their own car, and transform our nation into a giant capitalistic state that’s taking over our lives.
According to many capitalists and politician, we’re simply changing our ways of lives, and it’s not their fault that we eat the food made by the people that we’ve come to resent so much. Some may argue that the improvement of corn production had increased the world’s population by a whole lot. Perhaps the goal here is to increase the world’s population, even though many part of the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition while we, Americans, are worrying about how to lose all the fatty weight we have somehow just miraculously gain. Even those who grow the crops are unhappy. Why shouldn’t they be? With increase of productions and competition, farmers have to make even more corns to break even and make their daily livings.
Many American consume fast food every day because it’s affordable and cheap, not to mention quick. Of those Americans, 3 of every 5 people are overweight and 1out 5 suffer from obesity. If we continue to consume fast food in such massive quantity, the payout will be much more expensive than what anyone could save by consuming.
