Nourish

 I never really thought about where my food came from and the work that was put into the food until I watched this documentary. I was surprised to find out how much they put into our food now and that most of the food is not natural anymore. I didn't like that we have so many pesticides and chemicals in our food now. I don't think that is a healthy option and should be taking over all of our food now. The movie kind of confused me on whether or not the pesticides actually make it unhealthy or not. I've heard that this does make it unhealthy but I've also heard otherwise. I like the idea that there's things like the Farmers Market that gives people the chance to get pesticide free, fresh fruit on the spot. My biggest issue with the idea of growing mass amounts of vegetables and fruit like they are now with the chemicals is that is what I’ve always known. I wouldn’t know if they tasted much better grown fresh unless they came straight out of my mom’s garden. I think this is a very important phenomenon that needs to be discussed.
