Should People Have The Right to Truly Know What Is In The Food They Purchase and Eat?
Many companies around america are processing foods in factories. Even animals are being treated unfairly in order to give their american consumers what they want in a short amount of time. All of this is done, without their consumers knowing it. They say it comes straight from a farm, but the truth is that it is coming straight from a factory. I believe that american citizens should have the right to truly know what is in the food they purchase and consume.
If all american citizens knew what was truly in their food, most of the factories that do not process and deliver their food carefully and safely, would be gone. And instead of those factories, there would be all natural and fresh humane farms (maybe factories) that are organic and treat their products with care. The reason why producers of big and successful producing companies do not want to their consumers to have the right to know, is because if they do know they wouldn’t be such a big production since they are producing in an un humanely way of making the food. In the ways of meat production, they force their animals to be cooped up in small, tightly packed areas. Then forced into these machines that kill them. Not only is this inhumane, but unsanitary. Many workers in these meat factories catch diseases and get very sick from them. Giving the right for american citizens to know what is in the food they purchase and consume, can help stop these factories that process foods un humanely, and instead help flourish the farms (and maybe factories) that are organic and treat their products with care.
America is one of the countries with the highest rate of obesity, this is because of the factories that produce products of high content of unknown sugar. Not to mention cheap substances they use on order to produce the product, so they can sell it at a low price to consumers. When the organic, all-natural producing companies use higher value, more expensive substances in order to create their products for their consumers. Round all that information into all the unhealthy products are cheaper than the healthy products. Most american citizens want to pay as less as they can, so they purchase the unhealthy products instead of the healthy products. This creates more factories that will make cheap and unhealthy products for their consumers and will go faster with high-tech machines in order to produce more food. Farmers want to have more humane, safe, and caring ways to produce their foods, but big money producing companies are forcing them to make the food inhumanely in order to make more money, and if the farmers do not follow the directions given to them, their farm is practically taken away. So farmers are producing unhealthy products for their customers, in order to make money. So if companies start to put on their food’s food labels telling everyone every product and where it came from, then more american citizens will become healthier since they truly know what is in the food they consume.
Although big producing companies (like Tyson, Coca-cola, and Monsanto), may say that their products would not sell as well as other healthier products. And if they put more sugar, corn syrup, and starch without consumers knowing, then the product would sell more, and the consumers would think it is healthy. Well, if big money making food companies are hiding all these secret unhealthy ingredients then they are considered to be untrustworthy. Then they are putting a name out to for america, saying that you shouldn’t trust what is in non-organic foods. Giving the right for american citizens to truly know what is in the foods they consume, so it would force the production of unhealthy foods into healthy foods.
Many products of unhealthy, non-organic foods that are being produced today in america, can abuse animals by shoving them in small spaces until they have to die and workers by working hard long hours for minimum wages. So give the right to american citizens to be able to know what truly is in foods, so that it can help stop the abuse, create trust in our food, and become a healthier america.
