Taking a look at the products that food manufacturers throws at us. Our food supply has become modified that we are no longer eating food in their natural state. What i do find convenient when shopping at a grocery store, the outer portions of the grocery store is where the more unprocessed foods are located (vegetables, lean meats, fish and low fat dairy..). The interior isles are comprised of mostly highly processed, salted and sweetened foods,That way it is obvious for me to make a choice. Furthermore, labelled food is also a good way to know what nutrients and how many calories are in a typical Product. What scares me the most about our food system, is that i recently read that our food supply contain fructose corn syrup and trans fats in huge quantities, these products are highly modified and are harmful to our bodies. Furthermore, many kind of products that range from ethnic food, fruits and other veggies which can be in some cases beneficial but are not always present in a country, because they can not grow in a certain climate criteria, are then being imported from other places. Such act involve burning fossil fuels in great quantities and other implications involved. Finding organic food can also be a hard thing, and if a local grocery organic shop is found, prices are always higher than regular shops.
