1. I learned that the chickens are treated horribly because they are feed chemicals to make them fatter to sell faster. I learned that the chicken farmers are also treated horribly because the owners of the company act like they own the farmers who grow their chickens. I think they are treated that way because the company is the one who has the big bucks so they think they can just boss the little farmers around and tell them what to do. I think what we can do about it is to strike against chicken.
2. I learned that cows are treated worst than chickens because they cant even eat their normal food which is grass now that they are at the slaughter houses they have to eat corn which makes them fatter for a cheaper price in a faster time. I think this is because all the company wants is the meat to sell for money and they don't really care how they treat the animals as long as they get their money. I think we can also strike on the cow meat since they are treated so horribly!
3. I think the rate for diabetes is higher for minorities because they have less income to the rest of people so they do not have the money to buy the healthy products so they buy the unhealthy cheap food from the fast food restaurants.
4. Most of the people who work in the meat packing factories are minorities and ileagal immigrants because the pay for the job is good. And they are treated like dirt because they are usually not from here.
5. The Monsanto Company is the company that makes the weed killer products and when farmers weren't buying their products then they genetically changed the seeds so that if the weed killer was on them they wouldn't die. So everyone knows that every farmer grows their plants then saves the seeds from the previous seasons then grows more of those same plants, so Monsanto said since they genetically changed the first set of seed so the new set of seed were also Monsanto's too! They are important because if we started farming we would also have the same problems as the farmers now are having.
6. The diabetes concept you can make a game to teach people to buy healthy food instead of the unhealthy foods. The person in everyday life to represent a person would be the hero. The unhealthy food would be the enemy in the game. The goal would be to stay healthy!! Healthy food is what you would have to collect to earn points.
