I recently headed out to the supermarket; check the labels on about 15 to 20 products. All the products contained some sort of corn sweetener ingredient. Corn is being fed to livestock: dairy cows, pigs, chicken and even salmon at all farms nationwide. Corn is cheaper, and less of a hassle to retrieve animals from the fields. All the available, soft drinks and juices for kids contain corn byproducts.
Exploring new ways of shopping can be scary because it is breaking away from old habits and subjecting one’s self to change. Instead of buying meat from the local stores, when the meat comes from plants that feed the live stock corn, research the local area for small farmers who sell whole chickens, pigs, cows, goats and so on. When reaching out to these farmers do not be shy and directly ask, “Are you feeding your live stock industrial corn feed?” This might take a few times but eventually one famer will respond with, “No, I feed my live stock their natural food sources such as Alfa, for the cows.” This is a good sign that when buying from this famer an element of hidden corn will be eliminated from the diet. Every state has gun laws and hunting laws. Find out what these laws are and take action by hunting wild game and using the meat of animals who only serve off the land and surroundings, such wild game like, deer, elk, fish, duck, turkey and geese.

Beef, it’s what’s for Dinner When most of us walk into a supermarket we probably seldom thought seriously about what kind of beef we were about to eat. Was this beef from a cow that was corn-fed or was it a cow that was grass-fed? Today most of the beef you see in the supermarket is corn-fed. After watching the documentary Food Inc., it got me thinking about what if we just ate beef from grass-fed cattle. Would we be healthier and safer or is that just a load of manure.
Group 5 Swisher Case Max Swisher founded Swisher Mower by being lazy and using his brain. He lived in rural Missouri where one of his chores was to mow his lawn. He soon realized that if he were to make a gear box and tie a rope from the mower to the tree in the middle of the yard he could control the mower. So, he sat under the tree and mowed his lawn in concentric circles. He neighbors soon began to notice and began to ask him to make the same machine for them.
Part one is Industrial/Corn, it describes how corn is the most important ingredient in the industrial food chain, while the second part, Pastoral/Grass talks about organic farming. The last part is on Personal/The Forest, here Mr. Pollan is describing to his readers how he could make a meal out of whatever he could grow, hunt, or gather himself. This document gives a book review only on the first section. Michael Pollan shows us how hard it is to actually choose what we eat given that nature itself has a lot to offer. Nevertheless, if we studied the American industry, we would find that there is one basic ingredient that seems to be in just about everything: - corn.

English IV – P August 25, 2010 Character Analysis: Animal Farm In George Orwell’s novella Animal Farm, the author’s central characters shape the plot and represent human nature in society in the simplistic version in a farm on the countryside of England. One of the leaders in the farm, Snowball, depicts an idealistic, enthusiastic ruler who tries to create an equal, peaceful society controlled by animals. After the members of the English farm society successfully overthrow the treacherous human farmer, two pigs stand out as the leaders of the group. Snowball and Napoleon look over the well being of the animals and the sustainability of the ranch, but the pigs soon disagree with each other on most topics concerning the farm. The author describes Snowball as “a more vivacious pig” that is “quicker in speech and more inventive” than Napoleon, meaning that Snowball has great speaking skills that help him win the attention and loyalty to his fellow animals and exhibits innovative ideas that may help the farm both economically and socially (Orwell 12).
Migrant workers finally begin arriving in hordes.
