What has our world come to, when we do not even know where our own food comes from. Yes, maybe to some people this does not seem like a big deal but you must look at the bigger picture, because we don't know where it is from most people do not know how many pesticides are put into our fruits and vegetables. The new industrial way of life makes it so the connection to our food is gone and now that everything is oil based and all about how fast you can make the food the world has become more oil dependent. This oil dependency will become one of the world’s biggest crisis because all of our food comes on planes, trucks and ships, if our oil peaks what will we eat? Before our industrial way of eating we used to have more respect for mother nature but since this new way of life the earth is now taken for granted and looked at as profit.

PAST
Before the world became oil dependent we used to know where our food comes from how to make things grow and this was a very natural thing to know. Early humans were hunters or gatherers so they knew how hard it is to get food and never took more then they needed. The early humans did not think that the world is theirs and so they always conserved the animals, fruits and vegetables. Many of these people grew food around their homes all of the food had no pesticides chemicals or chemically engineered it was simple tasty and overall better. This way of life was much more sustainable because we were not killing off thousands of animals and wasting most of the animal, the same with fruit and vegetables. We were able to have a certain degree of appreciation I feel that now we go to the supermarket just put all of our food into a basket and have nascence of how to grow or even know where you got it from. This way of life worked for the early humans for about 2 million years, that way of life was sustainable but now due to the industrial way of life we have created overpopulation and though being able to eat a banana in winter is nice what isn’t nice is all the oil that banana had to use to get here you can see that the world is running on black gold but this black gold like everything else in the world cannot last forever. In the book “the greatest mistake of the human race”, it states that human beings greatest mistake was industrializing food due to the fact that the world is now being destroyed because of the exploitation of oil.

Present
In the present we are living in a dream, we feel as though the oil will last forever and for a time this may feel like it is true but we are greedy human beings we are taking more then we can afford, someday we will realize our mistake but now is not the time. This is a time of hummer’s and gas guzzling machines a time where we think we have so much time and that this industrial life style will have no consequences. This is when most people will enjoy there fruits and vegtibles without any care in where it came from “the good life”.

Future
This is when the human race will realize what they took for granted they will now understand without oil city’s cannot survive, our overpopulation will be the idustrial foods fault we will be in a night mare. This is when people who grow there food will become the geniuses and they will need to teach all of us ignorant fossil fuel base people.
