Food Inc

Somehow, my computer won't let me login to my blog, so I'm doing this from my iPhone. So, sorry if I had some spelling mistakes.
Over the winter break, I watched a movie called "Food Inc."
Just to give a short summary, this movie was about how agriculture had became into an "industry." The reason why we see same vegetables and fruits at supermarket throughout the year is because agriculture not something natural anymore. Because consumers prefer chickens breast part, many birds are artificially grown into twice as big as they normally should be, and their legs would break if they walk only 2 or 3 steps because they cannot afford to hold that huge body.
One big problem of agriculture is "corn." Most food sold in the supermarkets contains some kind of corn products, and corn is also used as food for cows, too. Cows cannot afford to digest corn, so many of them get sick. These birds and cows are not animals anymore, they are considered as products.
However, it is us consumers that should be careful. We all should take care what we eat daily, and we ourselves have to protect our own health.
