Hello!
I'm continue to reading "Food Ethics".


Today I will introduce a video related to my book.

In this video, many facts about food ethics in America are showed.
In the first half, McDonald's was introduced as an example of American food ethics. McDonald's growned a big food company today. For this growth, they had many developments. (ex. to have almost same menu around the world etc)

In the Middle half, the theme was changed to "How is this making people sick?"
These days foods are very related to be sick. Food is a essential for our body, so it's closely connect to us. Food poisoning caused many people sick in a short period time. The FDA(U.S. Food and Drug Administration) conducted foods safety.

Next theme is "Diabetes and Obesity". It showed us 99% of products at the super market are foreign products. There are 76 millions case of foodborne illness in America.(325.000 hospitalized, 5,000 death) Fast or processed food accout for American foods. It have the "fat" problem,too. This is the problem caused by McDonalds's, too.

In the last section of this video, the solutions are showed. People should eat locally grown foods. For this thing, the education is important for teaching children to what appropriate foods for us.

I think these education is need in Japan, too. Food poisoning are familiar problem from before. We should more careful about what we eat.
