We think we should be concerned and more aware of where our food is coming from. When disease outbreaks occur in certain foods in certain regions we often cannot tell if the food we are buying may be infected because we don't know where it comes from. If we know where our food comes from, we will more likely be able to avoid the infected foods.

We should be perturbed for our food's safety because contaminated food from elements like pig waste can cause significant health risk such E. coli. Eating at fast food joints or other restaurants  increases the risk of contaminated food because you don't know where the food is from and due to increased population, food is process faster and more recklessly.

Eating at many chain restaurants that sell cheap food, especially cheap meat increase our risk of eating contaminated food, such as food that contains E. Coli. These companies reduce their costs by using a variety of beef which highers the chances of contamination. We continue to not be very concerned with eating contaminated food because it is not very likely that our food is contaminated, even if it is from chain restaurants or is fast food.

We should be concerned about food safety because a lot of times issues with the foods we are eating are not known until after they have already been sold. The government rules are very relaxed and do not take action to prevent the toxic conditions of factory farms, therefore a lot of conventionally produced foods like meat and now even vegetables have a high health risk. So if a lot of people are eating fast foods then they have a higher likelihood of getting a disease from the foods they are eating.

Eating fast food presents a significant risk to our health, because most fast food places get their ingredients from CAFOs and factory farms, and due to the huge quantity of food, quantity is preferred over quality. Therefore, fast food is likely to contain high amounts of cheap cuts and CAFO-produced meat, both of which are more likely to be contaminated than their organic counterparts.

We all should be concerned for food safety because it is not a political issue while it is treated like one. Private corporations perpetuate this food concern due to private interest rather than for public purpose. Marketing by companies and the subsidies given to unsustainable agricultural practices make this health risk much more likely for people to eat their product even if it is being manufactured in a CAFO. This cheap food appeal makes contamination more likely because of the demand for cheap food, which make health concerns more likely in the consumer due to the conditions found in CAFOs.

Yes, having seen some major food chains and their scandals with food contamination, we should definitely be concerned about it. One major thing that increases the risk of coming in contact with contaminated food is eating at restaurants, specifically major chains. Major chains are supplied by major food trusts, which are generally supplied by CAFOs for maximum productivity and cheapest prices. CAFOs are at a higher risk of contamination as a result of their unsanitary farming practices and their overuse of antibiotics and other medications.

Yes we should be concerned for our safety when buying from big businesses because it can have diseases from uncooked meat or the antibiotics that were used to alter the product. Eating from fast foods places that value quantity over quality at a lower price could increase the likelihood of eating contaminated food.

Not knowing where your food comes from definitely increases your risk of eating contaminated foods. We think we should be worried because occasionally there are E.Coli and other disease outbreaks and we should always be informed. Eating from food chains/fast food increases your chances of contaminated foods because they usually get all their foods from the same supplier. Eating meat is generally riskier because meat is pretty susceptible to contamination.

Read both quotes, which come from http://www.sustainabletable.org/501/food-safety
(which, incidentally, I have not vetted as an unbiased website, although their resources for this page include government information). I encourage you to click and read more of the article, too.

Most of you are not too worried about food safety. What increases your risk of eating contaminated food. Should you be, and why? What eating habits increase the likelihood of eating contaminated food?

"Given the private sector’s desire to push profits at all costs, food safety protections for consumers are dependent on strong government regulations. Unfortunately, government policy and regulations have been unduly influenced by industry, creating lax or favorable rules that decrease the cost of business but put consumers at risk.  In many respects, regulators act in a more reactive than preventative manner, using voluntary product recalls to respond to major food safety scandals rather than addressing the underlying problems. For example, little is currently being done to address some of the root issues in food safety, such as the conditions on factory farms  G and increasingly rapid speeds in slaughterhouses."

"Another common source of foodborne illness is E. coli. There are many strains of this bacteria, which is found in the intestinal tract of animals and in their waste. Some strains, such as E. coli 0157:H7, are particularly dangerous for humans. This pathogen has often been found in beef products but is now also showing up in fruit and vegetable products, possibly as a result of produce coming into contact with manure or water containing E. coli. One worrisome trend that has been identified as a potential risk for spreading E. coli is large producers who attempt to reduce costs by using a variety of sources of beef in making ground beef, adding the cheapest cuts of beef that are more likely to come in contact with feces containing E. coli.  FE. coli contamination of beef is now commonplace, including more than 200,000 pounds recalled in July 2011."

I believe that the foods I eat at home are safe as I know my mom is very big into buying organic foods with no trans fats or anything of the sorts. However, I do not feel 100% safe about the food that I get served at many restaurants. Places like the Nautilus diner probably do not care as much about the foods they buy as my mother or father and are most likely just trying to turn a profit. This worries me that I may be eating bad foods that may have even turned bad or spoiled. I had not previously considered the idea of industrialized bacteria but after watching the movie FRESH I have started to consider it but will most likely continue with my food eating habits in the future

# data[].attributes.body
In general I feel that the foods I eat are safe. I generally have a trust in the professionalism of supermarkets and food production industries and expect that they would try to make sure the food is safe. I am also generally to hungry to consider whether the food I am eating is safe and it is something I don´t think about enough. I have heard about super-diseases created by the overuse of antibiotics in food but I have always felt it wouldn´t affect me.

I usually feel like the foods I eat are healthy and safe as my mom does not like to buy pesticide filled food. Therefore, the majority of the food I eat at home is organic and healthy. This gives me confidence as my mother is on top of the current news and various reports. I had not considered the possibility of "industrially-created" bacteria until I watched
FRESH. It is very intriguing as I did not understand the reasoning or need to create the bacteria or disease until I watch the film.

I do feel as if i am eating safe foods. On the news channel there are reports of foods being recalled all the time, however I feel as if personally I am eating safe food. I have never really considered the possibility of catching a food-borne illness nor have I heard of anyone within my family or town of ever becoming sick from foods that are being brought to local supermarket shelves.

In general, I feel that the foods I eat are healthy and safe. The majority of the time, my family tries to buy food that has been produced naturally especially during the summer with farmers markets. I had not really considered the possibility of
"industrially-created" bacteria until I watched this movie. With the substantial amount of chicken in my diet it makes me wonder if I am at risk to catch one of these diseases.
