Exploration 9 Anthony Fernandez

I understand what the movie Fresh is saying completely. The world we live in is full of many smoke and mirrors that attempt to make just about anything tasty looking. As a Pakistan man mention towards the beginning said, "The only thing Americans fear is what is inconvenience."What the farmers in the movie were doing was phenomenal. They were trying to show how it is possible to farm for food without all that mechanized mayhem. I have to say though, if you are trying to feed the world, a handful of farms that do things the right way are not going to get you anywhere. They are a nice idea, but I think it needs a little more work before it can be used to feed the masses. But, all in all, it could be just what we need to make our overly populated world healthier.

  1. I agree with you Anthony. Changes need to be made. It is nice that the small farms are trying. However, change can only happen if the laws and regulations change. These large companies are aware of the ways they can get around the laws.

  2. The way America eats does need to change and i agree with you that it will take more time, large scale change does not happen over night but it does start with a person at a time changing their diet for the better.

  3. The quote you had mentioned, "The one thing we fear is inconvenience" stands so true. You could tell someone horrific facts about McDonalds and other fast food joints, and it goes in one ear and out the other. I think committing to something like work on a farm or a change to healthy food would say a lot about our country. Perhaps we won't be considered so "lazy" anymore.

  4. I agree that Americans are lazy and go for the cheapest, most convienent option in the grocery store and that needs to change. good points about how small farms will not "change the world". I believe it needs to be a big movement.
