What’s the biggest problem with the current food system?
I believe the problem with the current food system is that large industrial companies, who are buying out smaller producers, are slowly robbing us. People are becoming more accustomed to mass-produced, flavour-enhanced products, which often rarely resemble the original starting point. Farms are closing down and factories are taking their places, but who really wants to take their kids to a food factory, to stroke a poor manipulated animal in a cage, destined to be a ready meal, in a freezer near you, for your convenience?
What is right with mass production?
It feeds the masses, employs many people and allows a select few to get very rich, but how often do those select few eat their own products?
