IFS Paper

IFS Paper

IFS Paper

I’ve never really looked into what exactly my chicken nuggets from Wendy’s were made of, let alone where it comes from. When the door was opened to this information, I swallowed it all whole. Its scary to think about all the truths of the Industrial Food System, how our food is processed and the path it follows to land in our lap at any of our convenient fast food restaurants.
Most of all, everyone is completely clueless and doesn’t question where it all comes from. It is sad and sickening to realize, but it is reality.

Industrial Food System (IFS)
The creation of Industrial Food from plants and factories is really a very scary thing for the people who truly understand the concept of it. Things like animals plants, and even humans get dragged into this so-called machine in order to be used as things. People are taken advantage of and a lot of them don’t know, or even understand. How Does it Work?
Crops are created by using pesticides and other hormones, which are said to “help” grow them faster and healthier. But, in fact, these chemicals are all poisonous and could end up in our overall food. The corn is used to feed the cattle and steer, which helps them to grow fast, meaty, and strong. That sounds a lot like what they’re doing to the crops. These animals grown to eating perfection are sent to the slaughter houses and killed there. They are completely chopped open and separated at almost every part of their body. The meat is sent to different places, called lines and what not, to further inspect it and distribute it.

Who is Involved?
The government is involved in it a lot, making profit from their inferiors in Fast Food businesses such as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Taco Bell and many other restaurants. These different “bad guys” are able to burn images and catchy theme songs by using different forms of communication via television/radio. Its called propaganda and its absolutely disgusting and horrible to see. The worst of it is, that the people who do realize what’s happening, don’t even care and they kind of let it slide.
The IFS is based off of consumer products, aka convincing you, the consumer, that their product in particular is the absolute best and no one else’s can even compare. People learn to accept this and are so set on purchasing this certain brand. Brainwashed!

My Experience With the IFS
All of my childhood, going to McDonald’s with my Grandma to get McNuggets and dip them in the McFrosty was one of the highlights to visiting family. I would live off of it and beg parents for it. Progressing into more privileges, I was able to go out for lunch. So why not get fast food every time, its good and its easy. Thinking that I was eating good and cheap food was really bad because of the ignorance I had, the oblivion that overcame me, and just me not caring, I was eating IFS food, and I still do, but not nearly as much and only when its somewhat necessary.
