Berry, W. (1990). The Pleasures of eating. In What are People for? North Point Press.          

       Wendell Berry states that consumers are a part of agriculture. As such, consumers need to realize the processes used to produce and manufacture the food they eat. Members of society are always in a hurry, and therefore, continually in search of fast and convenient food products. However, they do not realize the detrimental tactics used in processing convenience foods. Additionally, industries cover up their unethical food production by falsely advertising the health benefits of their products. Berry believes society needs to start growing and making their own foods. And, when purchasing their meat and produce, purchase locally and be aware of how the food is manufactured. As consumers, we need to exercise our freedom to choose, including the right to choose how our food is should be manufactured.
