Food for thought

All the readings we have done have made me think twice about my eating habits. I don't think I will change what I eat, but I am definitely more aware. Unfortunately, I am very used to eating meat and will most likely continue to do so. Until I do my own grocery shopping I can't make sure to eat meat that wasn't created in the stockyards. Fruit and vegetables I can more easily switch from unknown heritage to organically grown. It is not hard to come by and usually not a lot more expensive. I can tell my mom when I go home to try and buy more organically grown fruits and vegetables as well as meat not from stock yards. She might not be too pleased about this since my sister somewhat recently became a vegetarian. As I'm eating meat it does make me a little worried about what I might be eating. The new knowledge from these readings definitely does not encourage me to eat more meat. I have also began to notice the corn in everything. When I glance at the ingredients on things I'm about to drink or eat I now notice some form of corn about to enter my body. The fact that it is hard to tell where many things come from anymore is slightly unnerving. However, the way I have always eaten and my food preferences will probably override the arguments that we have presented against eating certain foods. Old habits die hard.
