While searching the web, this cartoon immediately caught my eye. It exposes something most people don't usually think about, which is the difference between what regulators are approving versus what's really happening behind the scenes. The picture shows a filthy food factory covered with rats, rotten food, and leakage spills. Despite the disgustingness, the FDA still smiles and says, "Keep up the good work."
What makes this cartoon worth sharing is that it shows a greater perspective on big organizations. We are taught to trust big companies with important names and look no further into it since they "know what they're doing." It points out how some people don't do their jobs as they should, and just because people seem fed and happy, they let other things pass their attention. It raises questions about whether the food is really safe. It's a reminder that asking questions and digging deeper into things that might seem safe is ok. This cartoon helps us stay aware and not automatically trust everything we're told.
Although this cartoon might look like a funny drawing, it holds a deeper meaning about the world we live in. It encourages us to look closely into the systems we rely on and make sure they're working the way they should.
Hey daisy I love that you pointed light to this situation of the corrupted and quite evil business of the food processing industry. As consumer we just think things are safe but if you do a little digging into what you are actually eating you would be surprised. I think that we should put some bigger restrictions on these companies and really look into what is going on behind the scenes. This blog post helped me to realize some of these things. This cartoon also emphasizes some of the unsafe and unsanitary practices in the industry. Thank you for analyzing this and I loved this blog post!
ReplyDeleteHello Daisy I like how you mentioned the bigger picture that it shown within this image. Many big companies get away with things just because they are popular but that's not okay, we should start having them take accountability. It does just look like a silly picture but it's a serious issue that is happening and should be addressed. It shows how unsafe the food that they are giving away actually is like the keep refrigerator boxes. I like how you are addressing it and think others should too.
