  1. Mitt Romney and Barack Obamatalks about Sustainable Food(True Lies:) By: Kierra Miller

  2. There are a lot of topics that concern sustainable food. One concern is how different family farming and industrial farming is, and how they process their food. According to Beyond Factory farming, it talks about how a typical family farm would raise their animals as naturally as possible, by never giving them antibiotics unless their animals are sick.

  3. Workers who administer these antibiotics would get sick themselves. You can only imagine what this is doing to the livestock. I know where you’re coming from. Beyond Factory Farming also discussed that industrial farming would raise their livestock in one concentrated area, and continue to give them antibiotics.

  4. Another thing that goes a long with sustainable food is the amount of waste, because of this it is hard for people in America to keep food sustainable. Yes, I totally agree. Grace Communication Foundation has mentioned that we throw away 40 percent of our food each year in the U.S, and this should alarm all Americans.

  5. A great amount of food is mostly wasted in a typical American family home, and this waste is also occurring on farms, in family markets and restaurants.

  6. You’re right, if you purchase food at local markets it will help keep your food sustainable. An organization I became aware of that informs people about this matter is called Do Something.org. It is also important for us to learn how to keep food sustainable. Some ways people in the United States can do that is by purchasing food at their local markets.

  7. I too, heard of Do Something.org. They explained that when you buy food from local markets it contains more nutrients and it taste better. But if you purchase foods that have been traveling for days, the food will lose some of its nutrients.
