Organic food or fast food, which to choose? I don’t think this question comes across many peoples minds these days, if it ever did. Considering America’s history It seems to have gone from the traditional mother cooks fattening meals to going to Wendy’s one block away. Question is why? Why do we consume these meals that we know contain no nutritious value, is it the affordability, the easy access to a meal or something bigger?
I myself do enjoy all bad things society has to offer in the food industry and I never really looked at the fresh food that may be across the street. I think much of it has to do with what you were raised eating, the eating habits passed down from generation to generation. Although in Puerto Rico I’m sure they grew their own food so I guess you can say that moving here may have changed a few things within my family’s diet. Maybe it is the atmosphere of America, the idea that one can go to America and have no worries. You need food, we got it .99 Burgers with all the dressings and freshly cooked mystery meat.
Can one even blame it on America, maybe we all a bit to lazy to go to the market and pick out fresh food and cook, maybe we like that you can get everything you need in one place and eat it on site. I know I do, I don’t have much time and I’m not exactly a child so my mom barely cooks for me, and I don’t mind. I have to go to work and school and I find that it’s easier for my lifestyle. Now when I can I eat something that isn’t toxic to my being. I enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables and if it says organic it makes me feel better. I think that anything that is stamped with the “100% organic” makes anyone feel good about what they’re eating. Maybe it’s a psychological thing, like maybe one needs to put it in their minds that they need to eat things that are good for them. Instead of compromising one’s future for today’s affordability and convenience.
