New Year New Meat

     In the beginning of this unit I didn't really feel like it was that relevant to me. I would eat what I wanted to eat and figured that I would just forget about the things I learned in a couple weeks like most people do however that turned out to not be the case. The more things I had learned about the food industry and the inner workings of it the more I would be conscious about my food. I still eat what I normally do although I always think of the story behind the meal. Now I do feel that it is worth it to pay a little more for organic foods or foods that have not been genetically modified whereas previously I did not ever think of buying those better treated foods. If could go back four years and carry the knowledge I have today I believe that I would have ate a lot less junk foods and prepare my own meals everyday from more organic sources. Meaning that I would buy chicken or beef that isn't from the big meat suppliers because of the way that they treat those animals and the quality of the meat. I also would have probably got into cooking a lot earlier because I would have seen the significance of making your own food and how important it really is. The food industry is a giant and there's not much one can do to really change it, but it doesn't hurt to try. Therefore I'll show my desire for non-GMO and organic products over conventional foods, if enough people switch the better and more natural foods then the industry will have to react to fit the consumer needs.
