Food Politics

Food politics was the book I chose to read in this class. I have never been a big reader so 100 pages was a true struggle for me. I admit I fell short of the mark but got a good insight to the book. The first almost 100 pages was in my eyes very slow. It discussed how truly enormous the food corporation is. It also discussed the relationship between the government and large food corporations, You think that the food corporations would play by the governments rules, but sadly it seems to be the opposite. A fact that astounded me was the sheer amount of food that these food corporations produce. In 2000 alone these corporations produced enough calories to feed every living person in the world twice around. I can see that I will really get into this book more once it gets through the details it needs for us to read on.

  2. Those food corporation have crazy amounts of power, I like the image you attached with it, when you are at the grocery store you would not think that all those things are owned by one corporation.
