Reading response from 11/2

After reading "The Omnivore's Delusion: Against Agri-intellectuals” (204) and "Real Food, Real Farming” (Coleman 236) I realized that there are multiple ways of farming, but also multiple opinions on the correct way to farm. Mainly from people that haven't necessarily worked on a farm in their life. Coleman talks about organic food and how it now is equivalent to the highest form of food the public can eat. I don't necessarily believe that is accurate in any way. I find organic food is very beneficial, but often over-priced. Also organic food is not always the healthiest option in my opinion. Fresh food has always seemed healthier to me and from personal experience it is the healthiest option provided. In the piece by Hurst he opens with an encounter he had on a plane. It appears like Hurst doesn't agree with the idea of organic food being the solution. Hurst brings up the fact of wanting to farm with more technology or more industrial use in farming. Everything else has had major advancements in the way they work so it's only fair to allow farming to advance as well.
