FOOD WHEN YOU GOOGLE AMERICAN FOOD:
WHERE OUR FOOD COMES FROM
LIVESTOCK Loose standards for treatment of animals Animals raised in cramped pens or cages Growth hormones are used to make the animals grow faster Antibiotics used to control disease
LIVESTOCK Free range might not be a good alternative Chickens kept for eggs can not be kept in cages but can still be confined in sheds Chickens for meat must have access to outdoors, but no certain size Cows and sheep must be kept on a range and be grass fed, also no certain size No hormones used, but feed can still have pesticides
FISHING Small boat fisherman catch for themselves and sell what is left over Many have lost their jobs Huge ships can catch millions of fish in a few days This makes it easy for fish to be over harvested and cause shortages Fish farming keeps lots of fish in cramped tanks This leads to the spread of disease between the fish The farmers need to put poisons in the water to stop the spread of disease
FARMS Most food in the store comes from industrial farms. Large amounts of food can be produced and distributed world wide Guarantees you will have what you need when you need it Relies heavily on pesticides and fossil fuels Can cause harm to the environment Can also be grown organically No pesticides used in growing the crops Takes more skill to grow the crops Usually does not produce as many crops as industrial farms Usually sold locally for more money
PROCESSING Almost all the food we buy has been processed in some way It is done to make food last longer or taste better Examples of preserving include; drying, freezing, pickling, canning, bottling, and salting The most common ways to make food taste better are to add either sugar, salt, and/or fat Food is a huge business and they will do whatever they can to make money
A FEW OTHER IDEAS TO THINK ABOUT Buy local/organic foods No pesticides and not as many fossil fuels used for harvesting and transportation Grow your own food Good for you and environment Cook meals at home Save money

FAST FOOD & RESTAURANTS Fast food is food which is prepared and served quickly at outlets called fast-food restaurants but before you take a bite of a fast food, do you ever stop to consider what has been involved in the preparation of it and it was prepared? How sanitary was the process? Do you ever stop to consider that you could be putting yourself at risk each and every time you choose to trust others in the preparation of your food? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhBmWxQpedI&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T0GZt00kL
FOOD SUPPOSED TO SERVE IN MEAN TIME When food is cooked and left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature, bacteria can multiply quickly. Most bacteria grow undetected because they do not produce an "off" odor or change the color or texture of the food. Which gives rise to microbial growth like Salmonella and E. coli Plush Salmonella on thinkgeek.com $7.99 each.

WHAT DOES MCDONALDS DO TO PRESERVE THEIR FOOD? McDonald's seems to be the villain in the never ending battle of good food versus evil food. There is so much information floating around out there about the famous golden arches, that it's hard to know what is true and what is just hype. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IGtDPG4UfI&feature=related

Nick Heppner Eat this, not that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7QpBm07Gl8& NR=1 The Essential 6 Nutrient Groups http://www.nms.on.ca/Elementary/exploring_nutri tion.htm
Meat & Beans Dry beans and peas are the mature forms of legumes such as kidney beans, pinto beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas, and lentils. These foods are excellent sources of plant protein, and also provide other nutrients such as iron and zinc. They are similar to meats, poultry, and fish in their contribution of these nutrients. Many people consider dry beans and peas as vegetarian alternatives for meat. However, they are also excellent sources of dietary fiber and nutrients such as folate that are low in diets of many Americans. These nutrients are found in plant foods like vegetables. Because of their high nutrient content, consuming dry beans and peas is recommended for everyone, including people who also eat meat, poultry, and fish regularly. The Food Guide includes dry beans and peas as a subgroup of the vegetable group, and encourages their frequent consumptionseveral cups a weekas a vegetable selection. But the Guide also indicates that dry beans and peas may be counted as part of the meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts group.
Oils Oils are fats that are liquid at room temperature, like the vegetable oils used in cooking. Oils come from many different plants and from fish. Some common oils are: Some oils are used mainly as flavorings, such as walnut oil and canola oil sesame oil. A number of foods are naturally high in oils, like: corn oil cottonseed oil nuts olive oil olives safflower oil some fish soybean oil avocados sunflower oil Solid fats are fats that are solid at room temperature, like butter and shortening. Solid fats come from many animal foods and can be made from vegetable oils through a process called hydrogenation. Some common solid fats are: butter beef fat (tallow, suet) chicken fat pork fat (lard) stick margarine shortening
