Food movement and going against big business

Believe it or not in today’s world “Food” is becoming a major topic in our society. Food and advertising is absolutely everywhere we look and most of the time the advertising is marketing to us the next best thing for the cheapest price, along with their flashy billboard to catch our attention. This all started in the 70’s when the movement started to make food “affordable”. Making food affordable is neither the easiest nor the safest process. Big companies use chemicals to make their food grow faster, larger, and last longer. This is great for the “Big Business” because it is cash in their pockets, but this is not the best for the customers on the receiving end, putting these processed food and chemicals in our body. Because of these actions there has been a food movement taking place. The food movement is all about putting the big businesses out of business for many reasons. The big business is producing so much cheap bad food they’ll need more and more people working for them making minimum wage. In return more people’s incomes will not be the most stable, therefore they have no other option than to eat cheap fast food, simply because it is all that they can afford. This brings me to my next point, the food movement. The food movement is all about local farmers markets where you can buy food for cheap and chemically free, also a huge trend these days is to buy local. When you buy local your money does not go into the big business pockets and it goes into the pocket of your local farmer who isn't using mass production to grow his food. It’s the little things we can do to show our muscles to the big business. I believe buying local and local farmers markets will continue to grow across the country. You have to keep taking little steps in order to achieve your goal of the “food movement”, you can’t go for the home run all at once or it will not work out. But I believe the “food movement” is on the right track and will continue to pick up steam and become more popular in the days and years to come.
