GMOs?....) en-us 2016-11-30 19:26:36 UTC 2025-11-02 06:07:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141627797 What concerns me the most about my food consumption is both my health and the animal cruelty involved in the food industry. Due to the added preservatives in many food companies products it makes me want to educate myself on which trustworthy companies in my area I can depend on for pure meat and vegetables. The animal treatment that is allowed has made me switch to only buying free range and grass fed products.]]> 2016-12-04 22:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141627797 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141629840 The most concerning thing about the food that I eat is the fact that the practices of large farms are very unsustainable due to their use of monoculture and synthetic fertilizer.]]> 2016-12-04 22:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141629840 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141637655 what concerns me most about the food I consume is the use of GMOs, or genetically modified organisms. GMOs concern me because they are relatively new and have been put into use without any investigation as to what their long term effects on the human body may be. This concerns me because I am not aware of the risk I may or may not be putting myself at.]]> 2016-12-05 00:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141637655 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141918481 what concerns me most about the food I eat is food safety. Meaning that the food that I am purchasing and subsequently eating is not clean. Whether it is mishandling due to mass production/mass transportation resulting in contamination by E.coli or salmonella. I am also worried the food is covered in pesticides that can be harmful to humans. ]]> 2016-12-06 02:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141918481 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141918781 What concerns me the most is the treatment of the animals. After seeing the animals being squished into small places, mutilated, and being fed food that shouldn't be eaten by the animal like dead cow, I was disturbed completely. I don't want to support industries that treat animals so cruel. I know now to take the extra step and figure out where the food I am eating came from and factors such as if it was free-range. ]]> 2016-12-06 02:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141918781 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141919523 What concerns me most is my health. Personally, I’ve been having fast food very often ever since I’ve gotten senior privilege. Not only does it make me feel a bit guilty for eating it so constantly, but it never settles well with my stomach. After watching the documentary, it makes me even more concerned now, not only seeing how it's all made, but seeing how it has a large possibility to make me sick. So next time I take a trip to Smashburger with my friends, I think I’ll just stop by Panera Bread instead and get a bagel or a smoothie. ]]> 2016-12-06 03:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141919523 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141983380 The most concerning thing about the food that I eat is the pesticides and other similar chemicals used on these foods. These chemicals are highly toxic, and the thought of ingesting them makes me worried for my health. I am also worried about the cleanliness of my food. I don't know where my food has been so I worry that it might have picked up E. Coli or Salmonella or another diesease.]]> 2016-12-06 12:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/141983380 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142278050 The biggest concern I have with the food I eat is contamination of synthetic fertilizers and chemicals. I do not have a problem with GMO's, but I am concerned with the chemicals that are on my food.

Knowing that animals are being forced to eat other meats or food they're not supposed to be eating. Also seeing the animals ushered into confined spaces. I'm also concerned that there re a bunch of pesticide residue on the foods we buy at the grocery store and we don't even know it.]]> 2016-12-07 15:00:18 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142302325 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142329657 One thing that concerns me about he food I eat is the cruelty involved in getting my food. What also concerns me about the food I eat is how much I don't know about it. Such as what affects GMO's, synthetic and preservatives will have on me later in my life.

However, those answers only provoked more questions as some subjects still don't have definite answers such as the issues surrounding GMOs which we want to know more about.

We have learned about GMO´s, hormones and pesticides and how they have affected human health and the environment. However, we still have more questions about the long term effects and the exact health concerns.]]> 2016-12-08 13:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142539822 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142539919 Generally, we have some more questions. We would like to know when GMO's will be confirmed as completely safe an if not what health effects do they have?

Prior to this video, we we did not question the wholesome nature of our food, but after watching the video, we had questions about the cruelty and unsustainable practices of modern agriculture.]]> 2016-12-08 13:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142540191 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142606349 This has raised more question about food safety because every topic has complex layers. For example GMOs have beneficial qualities such as insect repellent and harmful qualities such as loss of biodiversity due to disruption of the food web. ]]> 2016-12-08 16:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142606349 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142606523 It has both answered and raised questions. For example, we're more aware of what we're eating and the production processes, such as issues with CAFOs and GMOs. However, knowing this raises more questions like what exactly are GMOs and how bad are they, and it is difficult to get answers to these questions because there are many pros and cons. ]]> 2016-12-08 16:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142606523 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142606754 It has answered some of our questions. We now know what GMOs are, their pros and cons, along with the treatment of the animals and what the life on the farms are like. We do not have many more questions and we are still not very concerned about our health.]]> 2016-12-08 16:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142606754 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/vyqz2mkco9ei/wish/142607815 It has raised more questions.
