In honor of World Food Day on October 16, I would like to take a short break from aquaponics and feature "Food Inc" as October's book. Food Inc is an eye opener for those who want to know what they are eating. I know that many don't really want to know where their food comes from because it is easier to turn a blind eye. Those individuals shouldn't be surprised if they suffer consequences, but I admit that I hate to think of the many consequences that they could very well suffer.
There are many family farmers who want to give us good food, but they are attacked and gagged by the government. This is to keep the majority in the dark about what they are eating and to allow the food industry a certain level of control. There is more money in cheap unhealthy food than there is in whole food.
Anytime anyone wants to understand the injustices in America all they need to do is follow the dollar. Food Inc could help you do just that in the case of injustices with food and farming. To purchase the book, see the Amazon link below.
