Now that you know many flaws in the government system, how could you help those problems?

  1. As a student/young adult I think I should become more aware of what I am eating and actually read labels and understand what I am putting in my body vs. just picking it up and thinking it looks good and just eat it. The government should change the way the promote certain things as and as consumers we should know what's right from wrong.

    1. Labeling is something that we need to pay close attention to because we need to understand what we are consuming. Some of those ingredients can be harmful to us, therefore, the consumers should be able to distinguish right from wrong.

    2. Although I agree with you on labeling I still disagree. If the government didn't use such practices as gmo production there would be a very limited variety of food you could eat at certain times of the year.

    6. as people we need to be careful and watch the labels on food honestly just looking at it its all the same food really but the higher brands really aren't good for you they taste good but when it comes down to it they are tearing our bodies up

  2. The best way for me to help solve those problems is by educating myself about which crops are commonly genetically modified and only buy organic versions. Better yet, support the companies involved in the non-GMO project. These are the companies willing to go out on a limb and actually test their organic ingredients to make sure they are not contaminated. Also, by raising our voices and letting the USDA and our legislators know that we don’t want GMOs!

  3. I think the best way to change things like this would be more education as to what is in certain foods. I wouldn't say getting ride of gmo production but maybe promoting more organic foods. I know it sounds good to say no more genetically modified crops, but in reality many Americans don't care. I think that it has to be more than just the government working to fix this problem. It has to be something that average Americans can be involved it to make a change.

  4. I pretty much already knew what was going on and had already done something about it like stop eating so many canned foods or like foods that i know have been processed and that are bad for me. I've told people about how the government is controlling the farming industry and other ones as well.

    1. Karen,
      I like the idea that you have become proactive and have stopped eating can goods in your home. In my home we are making an effort to buy more frozen items as well because they are better for your health. They have less salt content and it was suggested by my mothers doctor. My mother has made an effort in hour home not to but too many processed foods and we seldom eat fast food.

  7. As a young person under the government system, I don't have a major say in the government. Although, i can still do things to encourage solutions to the problems such as informative fairs, petitions, and encourage my peers to support the organic cause.

  9. Now that I know about all the flaws in the government system, I can help those flaws by staying educated in the laws and what is occurring in my environment. I also feel that I can take a personal stand to help those laws by eating more organic foods and nit processed. I may buy fruits and vegetables from local crop growers so that I could assure that I am purchasing fresh goods. In the future I could try to make some items that I would typically buy in the store at my Hine such as fresh peanut butter and jams.

  13. I don't think there is a way us people can help the government. If the problem is the government it's self.

  14. I feel like these problems could be fixed by better distributing money all throughout government programs and it could also be fixed by the government listening to what the people have to say.

  17. We could start a campaign to inform others about the mistakes the government is making and how we could help.
