How do we really feel about food?

In this article I have found that many people don't pay attention to where the food they eat comes from. A survey conducted by the NC University showed a generalization of what people have said...

Many dont consider where the food comes from beyond the grocery store.
Don't pay attention to how the food is processed and the quality of it.
Many people are concerned with only the cost.

Feel very positive about the quality of the food they eat, yet are concerned about chemical inputs, preservatives and other technologies used on food.

Believe that research relating to food and farming is very important.

believe that society should be concerned about the declining number of farms and farmers.
appreciate the importance of programs in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences that ensure safe, economical and nutritious food, a cleaner environment and strong agribusinesses.

There are a lot of people that don't look further into where their food comes from.

I dont think most people do pay attention to their actions in terms of how it affects the world around them. and modern conveinences like grocery storys allow them to feel much farther away from any result.
