Thoughts on "Called Home" From Animal, Vegtable, Miracle

After reading a piece from her book, to a certain extent I agree with Barbara Kingsolver but at the same time I also disagree with her. Firstly I agree with her because I think that most people dont conpletly understand the process of how and where food comes from. As Americans we take advantage of the things around us ecspeically food. As a nation that is becomming to be horribley obese we dont seem to care what we are wasting and how much of things we have. We consume and waste more than any other nation. In Africa hundreds of people are starving and suffering from being malnutritioned. Which in turn if America would learn to conserve some, we would inturn be able to help those that are in diar need instead of only worrying about ourselves. Also as we through away as much as we do it begins to build up. Animals will only eat soo much of the spoiled food and the enviorment can only decompose so much of the things we waste. Land fills begin to fill up and having us make more and more spots to through away our extras. Trash has become such an issue that we no longer seem to care and try to control the problem instead we decide to put it somewhere else. Out of sit out of mind, right?

this is a land fill in Colombo.

Trash has to go somewhere when it blows away, of course the ocean
is the one thats their to catch it all for us.

Animal life is suffering.

On the other hand I disagree with her. She says that the soicety is so concerned about how the food is made. Which is compeltly true. But, at the same time, people are becomming more and more aware of how things are being made. We are no longer completly ignorant. Our nation knows things that are both bad for the enviorment and for ourselves. For example we no longer use pestdiced. It was killing animals it wasnt meant to and hurting us.As humans we are not perfect but we do eventually fix our wrongs. We are not the best things in the world for what we are doing with our trash but we are trying to fix it. We are more aware of the wrongful slaughtering of animals and are starting to change the ways of our wrongs. We are making laws to attempt to control the ways animals are treated. We do not have very many farms within our nation either. Some, but not enough to help distribute the needed supply of food. As many Americans are beginning to realize most of the things we are importing are either from China or Mexico. Not the United States. We all now know that vegtables grew either next to the ground or on the ground. We are still ignorant but not completly ignorant.
