Extra Credit RN- Food Issue Razi

This article contains information regarding the food and agriculture industry of America. I believe we cannot absolutely label this article as trying to convey oppressive information but it definitely is very concerning. It reveals some of the procedures used to process the fresh produce in today’s market as well as how this process affect the economy.

The thesis in this topic seems clear. The author is calling for change of planning in agricultural development. The article states that it takes ten calories of fossil-fuel energy to produce a single calorie of modern supermarket food. This process does effect how much money is spent behind the fossil fuel that is used for processing the fruit and vegetables. Due to the fact how expensive fossil fuel has become or to derive it, we as among the leading fossil fuel consumers are also pushing other countries in to a monetary war in the agricultural sector aswell. This can be considered as a social injustice because since we use so much of the resources which is said to be over nineteen percent of the fossil fuel according to the article, we increase the greenhouse gases and global warming and drilling for more fossil fuel.
