1. I like how in this paper, they asked some questions that I was wondering while watching this
movie, was are biotreated plants good to eat? I was thinking they probably got some stuff in them
that isn't supposed to be in them. What if it kills us, or gives us some wierd disease. But it said
that biotech crops have been used since 14 years ago. Which means if it did cause anything wrong to
us then it already happened.

Agriculture responses to Food, Inc. Compiled by American Agri-Women

1. This is my favorite article that I read out of the 3. Because in this the author reminds me of
myself. Because he's realistic, I don't believe in saying stuff that won't happen will happen. For
example, I don't think that there will ever be world peace, or end world hunger all that crap.
Because that's how life is. I like this article because he keeps it real, we can't hope to feed
all the food to everyone in the world using the methods that was shown in the film. Because if we
did we'd all be mad. Everything would rise, because it's harder to make, we would have to use alot
more land then we currently use. Also if we raised everything naturally like it was originally. Back
in the day when we did that, weren't there alot more diseases?

The Beef, Pork, and Poultry Industries Respond to Food Inc.

1.I like how this article also, because it shows that while feeding everyone using old fasion farms
sounds nice. Alot of stuff sounds nice but it's not gonna happen. For example, Polyface Farm
according to its Web site houses its chickens in movable shelters that can hold 75 chickens.
A shelter then is towed by a tractor from one plot of pasture to another.The fact is that the
broiler chicken industry has 1.5 billion chickens on the ground at any
one time. To house them the Polyface way would require the use of 20 million shelters, towed by
thousands of tractors, over millions of acres of land. The cost would be enormous, and so would
the “carbon footprint” of diesel-powered tractors and the additional land needed to support the
movable shelter system. This fact i've taken from thier website, is an example of how it's undoable.
Even if we could pull it off why would we? So we could waste more resources. The way I see it don't
fix something if it's not broken.

2.If you were going dedicate your energies to champion one of the issues in any of the writings,
which would you choose and why? In your opinion, what is it about your particular choice that
ranks it above all others? I definatly believe that we should leave the meat industry the way it is,
why are we trying to fix something that isn't broken. It feeds us, it's not that expensive, i'm not
sure what the current price is on chicken. But we have chicken 4 times or more a week, and I always
ask my mom why are we haivng chicken again, and she'll say because it's cheap and good.
