Glamorization of the Real World

Food Matters
We all need to eat but how many of us are concerned where the food comes from and what we actually put into our bodies? The amount of people in this planet is growing and growing every year and many have estimated that Earth has already way over the maximum capacity.
The growing amount of people has led to mass production of food: the cheaper we can get it the better.

The food is always prepared at the site and it is never pizzas or burgers.
I was browsing the Internet about this topic and found this very inspiring video about Birke Beahr, an 11-year-old boy, who is concerned about how food is marketed to children and is very interested in sustainable and organic farming practices.

The Huffington Post published an article in response where female chefs speak their mind about sexism in the food workplace, and they aren’t the only ones responding. Emily Shire, from The Week, also gives her own opinion to the flawed representation and total ignorance of Time Magazine.
