Explain How Food Has Changed Over The Last 50 Years Ago
Over the past 50 years food has changed a lot. In this decade more and more foods are being genetically modified or soaked in chemicals than the last. Many people think food has changed for the better. I disagree with these people. I believe that food sources and diets are not as healthy today as they were 50 years ago.

I fully agree with this because children's diets are based on junk food or genetically modified foods. They should be eating more organic foods and less of this junk
