Negative impacts~Dr.Flores

The industrial food chain. Its large and mass work load is amazing to some people. We believe that this food chain is benefitial and has no problems but this isnt always true. In the industrial food chain there are also many negative effects to nature and humans as well. In the book this diagram showed up. 
This photo discussed something very important. When food is being processed a whole bunch of chemicals are mixed in and its lack of energy is a result. We focus of growing transporting and processing that when its the actual food itself it has low amount of energy. Also, another issue of using hybrid seeds GMOs gases as fertilizers. All of these exploit the fun and the money from the farmers. In the book on page 31 it stated "Farming was no longer an ecologial loop-it was more like a factory. The farmer brought raw materials (seed and fertilizer) and turned it into a finished product-corn." These is describing an dillustrating how due to these new chemicals fertlizer it taken out the natural process of farming. These new chemicals and fertilizer is also causing most farmers to lose a lot of money because the expensive for the raw materials are really high. In the industrial food chain a lot of negtaive impacts are happening because of the new innovations form processing corn and also from expensives are affecting our health and the lives of farmers as well.
