the Op-Ed columnist Nicholas D. Kristof writes: Inspections of lowa poultry farms linked to the salmonella outbreak have prompted
headlines about infestations with maggots and rodents. But the larger truth is industrial agriculture is itself unhealthy Repeated studies
have found that cramming hens into small cages results in more eggs with salmonella than in cage-free operations. As a trade journal,
World Poultry, acknowledged in May. "Salmonella thrives in cage housing Industrial operations - essentially factories of meat and eggs -
excel at manufacturing cheap food for the supermarket But there is evidence that this model is economically viable only because it
passes on health costs to the public - in the form of occasional salmonella, antibiotic-resistant diseases, polluted waters, food poisoning
and possibly certain cancers. That's why the president's cancer panel this year recommended that consumers turn to organic food if
possible - a stunning condemnation of our food system. Students. Tell us what you think about this issue. Do you agree with Mr. Kristof
that news like this should be a wake-up call to reform commercial farming? How aware are you, in general, of where your food comes
from and how it was produced?

The quality of our food and the origin of the food that reaches our table, is directly related to our health, but also with an agricultural system that moves the economy of our country and that often imposes products on consumers, without giving too much importance for their quality.

We know that eating organically is much more beneficial and safer for our body. As an example of this, we can mention some scientific researches that bring facts about the lower risk of salmonella in meat and eggs of broilers raised organically, far from cages. However, organic food requires a larger economic cat, which is often impossible to be invested by many families and for this reason they end up giving themselves to manufactured products and products from conventional agriculture.

We should also mention that there is a government interest in buying products from conventional agriculture. This is because several large companies and many tycoons are involved in this type of business, causing governments to encourage this type of food more and more, making it easier for citizens to buy their products totally alien to their origin.

Therefore, we must demand, especially from government officials and companies, a more transparent positioning in relation to the origin of the food, the composition of it, the method of creation and planting and the economic interest that they have.
