What are the risks and benefits of the industrial organic food chain?
Just like the industrial food chain the industrial organic have risks and benefits that impact all of us. The industrial organic food chain has quite similar methods of growing crops and live stock. The industrial organic are not necessarily produced in the country but all over the world. The text states, "The organic food in stores like Whole Foods is organic because it is grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticide. Yet much of it is also industrial. Most organic vegetable in the U.S. are grown in monoculture farms... The cows are on these "farms" in fenced lots eating organic grain except for three times stay they are hooked to milking machines."(114) The details give how the two food chains are similar and why the share similar productions but this chain has a positive change biochemical lowering chances of disease such as cancer. The text states, "That comes to $34 to feed to feed a family of three at home...That's a hefty price compared to the same meal from the industrial food chain."(131) this show a risk of paying so much money for so little food can lead to bad economic done turn.
