“Food in our culture is one aspect of a larger nightmare”, write an essay that opposes, supports, and/or qualifies this thesis.

Food in all its aspect for our society is mass produced and rushed from all over the world, because is not grown locally anymore. It’s full of unhealthy hormones and pesticides which make us sick, and it’s soulless because we don’t produce it ourselves or kill it, because we have no connection with what we eat, because there is no involvement anymore.
In our present society we are feed fast food full of bad things for our bodies, we are sell food from around the world to ensnares us in a trap that enslaves us to hormone filled food. We sell our self for a mango from Argentina and a piece of chesses from Italy. In our society we sell our self for things that will disappear when fossil fuel ends.
Our culture is soulless in this food aspect; it has lost its connection with food a long time ago. It has lost this connection because we don’t grow or kill our own food anymore; because we let others do it for us. This leads us to a soulless connection to food. Our attention is capture by how the big companies market the food they sell us, how they introduce it to us. To make us believe that we wont be happy if we don’t buy it. It hides how the people who grow the food we eat are treated, how they are enslaved. They make us to believe in a matrix world, were everything is good and all you have to do to be happy is to continue to buy whatever they sell to you, no matter if is dangerous to you and your love ones.
Our culture has become a zombie culture, were we do anything these big companies tell us to do, because it is suppose to be good for us, but do they actually care for us? The answer is no, the only thing they care about is there profit and how much can they feed us until we realize how dumb and manipulated we have been. The food the give us, the one we don’t grow, the exotic one’s; we don’t eat them because we truly enjoy them we eat it without felling because we have been ingrain in our brains that is good for us, even thought they are full of hormones and pesticides, even thought we don’t deserve it because we haven’t grown it our self. We eat it without a soul because we don’t have a connection with it, just like the big companies wanted.
In one aspect the food in our culture is part of a larger nightmare, because of the way it is sold and market to us. How we are manipulated by this companies, because we have given up. Been manipulated to do stuff never ends well, it will become worse to the point that if we don’t do what this companies want we will lose who we are, our families and everything we hold dear.
In the movie “Our Daily Bread” it shows us how industrialize food is created, yet we still eat it, we are still trap without an opinion to this food and the one that produce it. In the industrialize life we rent ourselves to this companies, but we don’t get anything in return but more enslavement for “fulfill and happy life”. Because the food in our culture is one aspect of a larger nightmare that will enslave us and bring us down when they run out of resources, when they fall. Because their fall is imminent we are attach to them and we will fall with them.
