Where does your food come from?

Technology has made feeding people a lot easier for farmers. This is good. It has made it so that people do not have to be farmers to grow their own food. Today, individual grows food, sometimes they are also active in marketing them,but lots of people are involved in our food today, like the farmers, the warehouse operators, the retail grocers, the pilot, etc (the list goes on)
Reading,and finding information is a great way for people to have a better understanding of what they are eating and where it comes from., i remember while growing up, we just go to the market and buy foods, and sometimes we will be told where the food come from but most people don't cares!
