Food for thought

So for this assignment I have learnt that just consuming certain foods can consume the oil as well, hence “The oil we eat.” I never realized how much energy goes into the transportation and the distribution of the foods. In a modern society we are accustomed to being able to purchase foods of multicultural foods anywhere we go, but in reality this is harming the environment we live in. The energy that goes into the production of the foods we eat, strip the oil and potential energy stored in the natural world. Also as we deepen our need for oil, oil as a commodity becomes more expensive in more ways than economically. The ratio of oil we put into finding oil to the oil we actually find was once 1:100, but now has decreased to 1:10. The rate we’re heading to is that we’re going to be using more oil to find oil, than the amount of oil we actually find. So the amount of oil we use in the production, packaging, and transporting of our food and ultimately all products will rapidly pass the rate of oil we find.
