Based on what I have read in chapter 3 in Omnivores Dilemma there are some consequences from the industrial food chain. There were some consequences of the farmers having to use a whole lot of the energy that made some farms Loss proposition. "Industrial farm is using up more energy than it is producing. This is opposite of what happened before chemical fertilizers". This is one of the consequence that they had to face. Another problem is the things the farmers are using are hurting the earth. The nitrogen is polluting the earth and "some of it turns into nitrous oxide,a gas that increases global warming," this tells me how the things they use in the corn is not only healthy for the corn but it's not healthy for the earth. There are plenty more situations that these farmers have to and had to face but those two are the ones that suck out to me the most in chapter three to show some of the consequences from the industrial food chain.
