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.
