I.

We're living in a fascinating and constantly developing world, in which most of us are acquainted with the notion that to be fit and healthy you need to eat good food. In other words, it's also known as "you are what you eat" (Food Inc.). However, the world's economy is developing so fast that it creates an unavoidable impact on the food industry. The faster the population increases, the more the demand increases. "If the demand increases, the supply has to also increase to reach the Ceteris Paribus, also known as Economic Equilibrium. " - Jim Hubert. For the world's current population, it's impossible to supply the goods for everyone and the food industries would be gaining less profits, if the goods are being produced in a traditional way - farming. Therefore, the food industries involve machinery, chemical modifications, mass media and corruption in the process to satisfy the amount of food that is demanded. Few of us, would realized the actual effects and the potential danger of those foods when consuming it. Out of those few, there is the food industries who are aware of those issue going on; however, as a company, they will act on their self-interest, ignoring the food that harm two third of the world population and aim for one purpose - profit.

The food industries are not worrying about healthy nutritious meals anymore. Their main purpose is to produce many low-quality foods to limit the expense.

McDonald's brothers want their food to taste the same. As a result, they changed how ground beef is grounded. Calorically dense, fiber-poor and red meat consumption has been linked to colon cancer, diabetes, and overweight/higher body mass indices. Despite this the parents still buy McDonalds as a reward for their kids, the kids don't realize what is good and what is harmful. Their mentality is coded with the notion of reward as a "good thing", since rewards are usually thought as achievements by the children. Elsa H. Spencer also states: "The potentially considerable health impacts of this quantity of beef were considered, at a time when soy-based McVeggie burgers (and other veggie burgers) have multiple national and international outlets, when theAmerican Cancer Society and World Health Organization (among other health promotion organizations) encourage limiting the amount of grilled/processed meat consumed, and when consumer concerns persist regarding "mad cow disease." ("Potential Effects of the next 100 Billion Hamburgers Sold by McDonald's."). Some people, especially the adults, would feel the fiber-poor meat in the burgers that sometimes taste like a salted paper. For example, Seattle Central Community College prof. Waluconis said: "I don't remember the last time I ate at the McDonalds that might have been four years ago and if I did, I had some salads, not the burgers". The kids are the main consumers of the McDonalds franchise; they are strongly affected with the mass media - commercials. Instead of investing into high quality food resources, they spend it on the commercials.

"After you see what IBP is doing to cattle, what Tyson is doing to chickens, what farmers are doing to us (supplying the modified tomoatoes) and what Monsanto are doing to farmers in the new documentary Food, Inc., you may never eat again." (Food Inc.) Now there are tomatoes all year round, grown halfway around the world, picked when it was green, and ripened with ethylene gas. It looks like tomato but it is no longer a tomato, it's more of a rotten wood with some taste synonymous to tomatoes. The ethylene gas has the potential to twist human's hormone. They are simply gaseous organic compound containing carbon-carbon double bond.

Nowadays, technologies are so advanced that they can even clone biological entities. What's interesting is that the cloning technique can be applied in the food industry today. However, is it worth it? Does it cause any harm to us?

It could prevent unfathomab¬le amounts of animal suffering and would without a doubt relieve the environmen¬t of a tremendous amount of pressure. A couple positives are that it would drastically reduce damage to the environment
