Food Safety Discussion Question Today:
1. Are you concerned with the safety of your food supply? Why or why not?
2. Are you willing to pay more for food if there is better labeling, and inspection of food?
3. Do you think legislation can actually make our food supply safer?
1. of course i am, id be rather dissapointed if all of the food we have is dangerous to us. 2.no, beause i a far as im concerned, nothing has happened to that food comnpared to any other food. a little food poisoning isn't going to kill me and the chances of it aren't worth the extra price. 3.no, because the legislation of our country are not the farmers of our country. it SHOULD be down to them on how they grow, whether it be organic farmining or other ways.
1.I honestly do not know. I don't know how safe our food is now. So i realy can't answer this question. 2.Yes. If the food is quarenteed safe. I believe it would help keep the risks of food scares down. 3.I honestly think that they just want to say that they can. I do not honestly believe that they themselves can make the food safer.
1. No because I trust the people who inspect my food. 2. Depending on the product i would be willing to pay more. In meat, cheese and things of that nature I would be willing to pay more but in things such as boxed pasta, cereal, and things like that then i dont see the need to pay more. 3. Slightly but food is food and any major contaminations have probably already been discovered.
1. yes, becasue in ant our future children/grandchildren to be safe, and healthy. I want to be asssured that our food is safe, and being recalled all the time. 2. yes, becasue then i'd feel safer eatin products that my local store sales, rather than makig most of our own food. 3.Yes, by putting more inspecters in the management.
1. Of course I am concerned, but that said, I believe that the US has the safest food supply in the world. If we haven't had a dire problem thus far, then I say theres no need to fix whats not truely broken. 2. I am not willing to pay more - especially if its proven to not make that much of a difference. 3. Again, a firm no. This legislation cannot make a difference, it will just create a head ache for our farmers.
1. I am concerned about the safety of the food supply. But I feel like the US produces the safest food possible. There are always procedures and policies that would ensure "safer" food.
2. No - I am not willing to pay more for my food. There are products on the market that are labeled "organic" that I do not choose to purchase.
3. I do not think that legislation can actually make the food safer. I believe there are policies and procedures currently in place that are not being followed and monitored. How can the government pay for more?
am i happy with the safty of our food well yes we have the safest food in the world i would rather eat our food than any other however i do not feel the usda and fda are doing what they were made to do bringing out the nature of humans to be lazy would i pay more for food if it had beter lableing no it dose not mean the food is safer just that you beter know what is ment to be in it an that more people played with it will this legislation make our food safer i feel it will allow diseases to be detected sooner and ensure the fda and usda do what they were established to do

3.No I dont think the legislation can make our food suplly safer.
1. Food supply is a concern because as we get more populated we need more food. And of course we want safer food.
ReplyDelete2. If food is raised we would obviously will pay for more food; however, some people cant afford to pay more as it is.
3. I believe it could in ways but in reality all food supplies wont be examined.
