industrail food

After read these three articles, I found the same thing that author want tell us is in nowadays, what we eat in America are nearly all made from industry.  The new technology make them bigger, growing fast, reproduce fast, but less nutrition, and changed taste. For example, in “Fowl Trouble”, the author says the chicken in nowadays is bigger than last few decades. And, in article “On The Tomato Trail”, the author says this “Today’s industrial tomatoes are as bereft of nutrition as they are of flavor. According to analyses conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 100grams of fresh tomato today has 30 percent less vitamin C, and 30 percent less thiamin, 19 percent less niacin, and ….than it did in the 1960s. But…It contains fourteen times as much sodium.”(2). These entire article mentions industrial food, and, I think everything have two sides, so does industrial food. The good thing is because the increasing population we need more food, and food industry almost solve this problem. Industrial animals or plants have a very short life cycle, and some of them will bigger than them growing a nature environment. Most of them are transgenic, they are genetically modified, and so, they are different. Although, this technology solved our food shortage problem, it also brings some other questions. For example, would industrial food influence our healthy? Because industrial food’s nutrition is changed, just like what author’s says in the “On the Tomato Trail”, and, after genetically modified, the animals or plants will become a little bit abnormal, for example the bigger chicken. So, as far as I concerned, both of the author are quest the industrial foods.
