Sustainability

Most of the food that we find today in supermarkets are highly processed and hold many additives. Alot people aren't aware of this when they are shopping for groceries. All the substances that are being added to the food are just for the taste and color, so it is more appealing to the eye. Air pollution also traces back to sustainability because the use of fossil fuels are used to power the vehicles that carry the industrialized food around. Antiboitics are put in animals to make them grow faster and because of the poor conditions of factories that the animals are put into. Putting these antibiotics in animals is harmful for humans because it makes our bodies antibiotic-resistant to the bacteria. A way to help not only yourself but others from having these problems is eating locally. That way you know what is in your food and what is not.
