There is a lot to know about the food we eat. For example,
the ingredients for a jar of spaghetti sauce, a box of
cereal, or a cup of coffee could come from around the
corner or around the world; they could be grown with
numerous pesticides or just a few; they could be grown
on huge corporate organic farms or on small family-run
conventional farms; they could be harvested by children
or by machines; they could be stored in hygienic or
pest-infested storage facilities; or they could increase or
decrease the risk of cancer. A description of any one
food product could include information on a myriad of
attributes.
