Baehr: What’s wrong with our food system


TED 2010
Baehr: What’s wrong with our food system (script)
Summary
Nowadays, our foods don't come from natural farms. It means that the soil plants grow is mixed with chemical fertilizers. Harmful chemicals are sprayed on fruits and vegetables. There's genetically engineered seeds and organisms. If you don't directly eat genetically modified foods, pigs and cows likely eat it and you'll eat it.
Is it a good thing? And then, the farmer who doesn't use any pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified seeds seems to be called crazy.
Everyone already knows which one they have to choose. If you now eat cheaper foods, you'll pay more to the hospital. Don't be confused by amazing advertisements, choose organic foods.
◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1. Why do most farmers nowadays use chemical fertilizers to their crops? Explain your answer.
I think that we consumers are responsible, because we've  sought  more cheaper foods. By using chemical fertilizers, farmers can harvest a lot of crops easily.
2. Which do you prefer, vegetables and fruits with chemical fertilizer or those with organic fertilizer? Why?
I now choose vegetables and fruits with chemical fertilizer, because those are cheaper than organic. I'm sorry.
3. Do you think it is important that people should have knowledge about the product before buying it?Yes or No,and why?
Yes, I do, because in our world, there are many foods used chemical. The marketing and advertising often confuse us.
