Going inside.: Problem / Solution paragraphs.

Do we really know what we eat? I don’t think so. There’s a fact which we must agree: knowing what we eat has become something that is every day more difficult. It may be true that people usually are irresponsible customers. However, it may be true too that they don’t have enough time or attitude to worry and look into everything. Parents go to the supermarket after getting off work, exhausted and distracted, and buy what they’ve seen on television or what their child want because of colorful packaging and plastic toys.

We should be able to know what we are buying in every moment. Nevertheless, generally speaking, businesses across all industries usually lack specific practices designed to prevent fraud. Consequently, they try to hide it with huge publicity campaigns. Pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified seeds are just the tip of the iceberg, and that’s dreadful. This is a gigantic problem that should be researched individually and be faced commonly. By now, we shall start buying nourishment from local farmers and demanding corporations and governments for our right to know and decide what we buy and eat.
