Food Inc.

         Food Inc.         
        In the food Inc. movie part 3 what impacted me the most was, when Maria Gonzales says that they don’t have many options about eating healthy. It’s cheaper to get a hamburger than to get a bunch of broccoli. Fruits and vegetable are expensive to buy   now this days .There is a lot of different products like soda, candy and chips  that are  cheaper because they are made  from corn syrup  which becomes  affordable to a middle class family .The choice is there but  for a family with  low  income, it’s hard to  afford  eating  healthy like lots of fruits and vegetables . Maria’s husband has diabetes and he knows that he is in a higher health risk because he keeps constantly eating unhealthy fast food. They are using their low income to buy medicine for her husband and buy some kind of fast food that they could afford .He is getting treated for diabetes trying to cure   his sickness mean while, they keep eating unhealthy  food which may affect their daughters later on their lives. So it’s like help him now and then suffers the consequences on her daughters health later on.
For me this is really sad because I know I lot a people like that they go through the same situation and they really don’t have a choice.
