Entry #7:What We Don't See on Our Plates



 Welcome back to another blog post! After watching the film Fresh, I see the food on my plate in a completely different way. Before, I never paid much attention to where my meals come from or what goes into producing them. The film exposes the hidden side of our food system, which includes the chemicals, industrial farms, and the people working behind the scenes. It reveals how little most of us know about where our food comes from and the work that goes into producing it. 

One moment that stood out to me was Russ Kremer reflecting on his past practices. In the movie, he says, "Raising pigs like that was the worst mistake I ever made." After facing the real consequences of using antibiotics and industrial methods, Kremer went cold turkey on them and changed his approach completely. The film then contrasts his story with examples of farmers who adopted healthier, sustainable practices. At the end of the movie, it shows how healthier foods have been introduced to grocery stores directly from farms. It showed how food can be produced responsibly and successfully.



This movie left a lasting impact on me, showing that it's important to know where our food comes from, how it's being produced, and how we can better the cause. This film encouraged awareness and responsibility in those who choose to neglect the truth. Becoming mindful of the food we eat and valuing organic farming can make a difference toward a healthier food system.
