Exploration 9 StewartD
The most important theme of this film is 
getting Americans back to our roots in the farming industry which means 
farming healthier and staying more focus on raising crops and livestock
 the right way instead of farming for production. “Respecting the design
 of nature” which means imitating nature the best we can, this means we 
replace the use of fertilizers by creating a living environment that 
emulates nature which also helps with eliminating
 disease. This film shows us that we should defiantly need to do this 
because the evidence is there. We seen that the living conditions of the
 animals were not great and we seen the diseases that came from that and
 in turn trying to treat the diseases the farmers
 have to inject the livestock and the crops to fight the diseases which 
in turn we eat the animals and ingest the pesticides. “The honey is so 
cheap we can’t compete” I doubt that because if they were to go organic 
they would save money just like the other
 farmer did and they could lower their prices and beat the competition. 
At first they would take a loss but eventually it would pay off in the 
long run. I always wanted to do this but I was still really motivated by
 this film and one day I hope to grow and
 raise my own food and I think that if we all learned these skills and 
start growing our own food we could give ourselves a better choose of 
food and maybe we could do something like a fast food place but for 
organic and healthy food because we know we all
 need it.

Your post made some very good points that we do need to go back to our roots. Also the idea of an organic fast food place would be a hit since everyone wants to eat healthy but have it quickly.
ReplyDeleteI think the idea of a fast food place that actually has healthy food would be a great idea! I know that I hate getting fast food sometimes because of how unhealthy it is, but I do it anyway because I need something quick. So I would definitely love something like that!
ReplyDeletei also thought the film did a job job of telling us why we should make these changes and how it would impact the world.
ReplyDeleteI think its terrible that all of these factories make it very hard for the little guy to compete something needs to be done in order to protect the smaller farms and providers. Or our country will have nothing but unhealthy foods like it is starting to have today.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I mean even city people can grow something if they work hard and use their limited space wisely. This could make us more efficient, more self supporting, and more healthy. I mean we keep selling jobs like these to other countries, we can save way more and be more independent here in America, with all the space we have and farming land, this place is made for farming and working with nature like the Indians. I only see pros to this.
