The human race wouldn't be able to survive without it. One of the many things we all have in common is the consumption of food. Different foods from vegetables, fruits, meats and dairy poducts. Most of these selections are produced and or grown in enourmous farms where the animals are raised and the plants are grown. We might sometimes believe the milk, eggs, pork or steak are healthy for us but what we don't know is the truth behind how these products are really "assembled" behind closed doors. Big farm corporations have damaged the true meaning of agriculture and have (in some way) fed us all pieces of there garbage. I believe its a great harm to the community in having the big corporations taking over the agriculture industry. There have been numerous cases in where many people have been extremely ill because of how foods were processed. Not to mention how these industries have slowly taken over and destroyed small family farms who do process food the healthy way.
The way that "big time" farming corporations work is with the theory that the more they produce at faster speeds the faster they can get it to consumers and the more money they make. To do this corporations have ways to speed up the process which is not always the "safest" way to proceed. Speeding up processes include antibiotics and artificial hormones to boost the rate in which the animals can produce goods. Because of this humans blindly start taking in the goods they purchased at the super market and end up sick. The most common of sicknesses are food poisoning which can easily have you end up in a hospital bed. I'v had a couple of friends end up in the hospital from bad food poisoning just from drinking a cold glass of milk without being lactose intolerant.
