systems:
Give a brief overview of food systems.
What is one aspect of the food system that stands out to
you?
Has your view of food systems changed?
What was surprising to you?
This is what i Have so far but I need some help expanding
it.
Food systems are the ways in which food is grown, harvested,
processed, packaged, and distributed. Food systems can be local,
regional, national, or international.
One aspect of the food system that stands out to me is the way
in which food is packaged and distributed. Food is often packaged
in a way that is not conducive to a healthy diet. For example, many
processed food is packaged in large containers that are difficult
to portion out. As a result, my view of food systems has
changed.
I used to think of food systems as just the way food is grown
and harvested. But now I understand that food systems also include
the way food is processed, packaged, and distributed.
What was surprising to me was the way that food is packaged and
distributed. I was surprised to learn that a lot of processed food
is packaged in large containers that are difficult to portion
out.
