Future of Food

Watching the documentary “Future of Food,” was a bit disturbing. I didn’t know those things were happening. I strongly believe consumers should be informed about what’s in their food. I think this is extremely important because anything can happen and we need traces as a just in case. This film made me open my eyes and actually look in the back of certain products to see if I notice anything weird.
My favorite foods are pretzels and they’re made by over 45,000 employees in the US and Canada, where it’s made, delivered, and sold all over. The ingredients are: enriched flour, corn syrup, salt, corn oil, yeast, malt extract, sodium bicarbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, and artificial flavor. The ingredients are farm-grown and the company (Frito-Lay) is reducing their environmental footprint by conserving natural resources as well as harnessing renewable energy technology that reduces harmful emissions (www.fritolay.com).
