Food we eat



                Consider the Lobster has to be one of the interesting pieces I have read. I am not say thing because how it is written but how the information is put out there for the reader. To me the author of this piece contradicts himself a lot and uses a lot of sarcasm in his piece. The fact that lobster used to be a lower class food and now is a couple steps down from caviar just amazed me. He also stated that lobsters can grow to be as big as 15 pounds that is incredible. But he ultimately kills the Maine Lobster Festival by saying that it was basically a glorified country fair with a food associated with it.
                From the movie even though I have seen it before, opened my eyes again to what is really happens. It is very true about the round-up ready soy beans we had to switch over to those or we would have been sued. Even if you did not plant them cross pollination gets that gene in the beans that are not round-up ready and that company knows that. That is the reason they patented that gene to screw over farmers to sell their land so they could buy them out and have an empire over all things green.
