The issue has been addressed, the many problems have been broken down, and now its time to come to a conclusion with sharing the solutions. Many people are not aware of the situation, others are aware but don’t bother trying to make a difference because they know the impact of one person won’t hit a corporation that larger as hard as it would be needed to be hit. But, if every person did their own small portion, these small portions would add up to one big impact. Maybe some people were waiting for someone else to make the first move, but now that Food Inc. has made that first initial move, there are no more excuses. In order to make a change, one would have to do things such as speaking out to the USDA or write letters showing your concern for the problem. Kevin’s mother has been working for the past ten years to pass a law, Kevin’s Law, which would give the USDA the power to shut down any plants that repeatedly produce contaminated products. This has still not officially become a law and is now a bill formally known as the Meat and Poultry Pathogen Reduction and Enforcement Act of 2003. Hundreds of letters and emails have been sent to support this bill. Another thing you individually could do would be to boycott the specific food companies that are causing these problems. Avoiding brands like Tyson are how you would go about this. This will not only begin to prove a point but is also an extra precaution to your safety. This will also open you to a whole new assortment of foods: healthy, natural, and organic. Foods like these will improve your weight, which prevents your from hundreds illnesses. It isn’t a common thought to think that something as small as reevaluating what you place in your cart at the grocery store can save something as huge as a life.
