The Effects Of Food On Our Environment, The Economy, And Our Overall Health

Food, we need it to survive and thrive. Food is our source of nutrition and energy. When we consume food and water, our body breaks food down into tiny particles and sends the nutrients throughout our bodies through blood. This is called digestion. According to science, nutrients are one of the four requirements of life for all human beings. Every day, we are faced with choices about our foods.

Earth hates us and who wouldn’t, from the plastic churning throughout the oceans, to the number of trees delimiting, and the killing storms, Earth is changing and it is mad, but what is worse is a person’s ignorance on climate change and the lives this change it is affecting.

Organic Food “To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art” (Francois De La Rochefoucauld). For the past few years’ organic food has become very popular among today’s society. The topic has been spread across headlines of magazines for example, men’s and women’s health magazine. Organic food has made for some very intriguing and diverse conversions on documentaries, talk shows, and health seminars. Organic food is plain and simple it is the process in

But, as good as their arguments may be, I strongly believe that GMOs are perfectly good to eat and don’t do nearly as much harm to the environment/economy as we think. To start, the argument that GMOs are bad for the environment is nonsense and scientists have proven that GMOs are actually better for the environment. When you plant a genetically engineered crop, you plant and organism that is reliable and needs less space since the yields are greater. To further this, when you use less space you

Climate Change What have we done to our earth? If we no longer need to debate whether the Earth is flat, then we no longer need to entertain the possibility that man is not making an unsustainable impact on the planet.

Managing the environmental crisis and mitigating food insecurity are the two biggest challenges that mankind is facing today. Not only are we challenged to reduce hunger and malnutrition at a global level, we are also poised at the brink of a severe environmental crisis, which includes severe air pollution and chemical waste disposal. There are many causes of climate change, but one of the main causes of the current crisis trend is human exploitation and pollution. As we develop and increase in population

Technology: Effects of Technological Advancements on Health “Estimated 7–10 billion medical tests are performed each year. Test results play a critical role in health assessment, influencing the majority of medical decisions.” (Hyattsville 2) Ever since the 1800s, scientists have been able to look and study different diseases to find ways to cure people. Scientists create new technological advancements to fight these diseases. Ever since then the race to create technological advancements started

local manufacturing and food market reconstitution. Both topics present the question what is best the future of America? As consumer’s we have the opportunity to bring awareness and doing our part to help boost the local economy with our purchasing power. Individuals can help progress the economy in their community and overall in the United States by supporting local manufacturing or purchasing products “Made In USA” and by buying from local food markets.

opportunities, better health care, education, and many more factors. Some people feel that urbanization is positive for society. For one, it is positive for our economy, as it is easier for people to earn and spend money. It also allows people to have better living conditions. However, the growing environmental issues outweigh these advantages drastically. Urbanization is causing more pollution, climate change, climate loss, and loss of necessary resources such as food and water. While urbanization

these foods plus more are linked in a life-threatening way, they?re genetically modified. For starters, genetically modified food is when the genetic material of a food or plant is changed and it can 't be replicated by nature itself or by mating. There is evidence that supports the idea of genetically modified food being harmful in the 21st century because there have been lethal side effects from the altered foods, it has impacted the environment in a negative way, and they put a strain on our economy
