We have the right to know


We Have The Right To Know
As of right now, several food companies don’t share the ingredients they put in the food they make. They do this because it will be a violation to the companies rules and the workers can lose money from their checks if they aren't doing what they are suppose to. Food companies should label the ingredients in the food they make because food quality determines people’s health and it will help people make better choices on what to buy..
One reason why food companies should share the ingredients in the food they make is because food quality determines people’s health. For example, if an adult or child is allergic to a certain ingredient or they can’t eat certain foods because of health reasons, they won’t know what’s in the food because the ingredients are not labeled. Many people want to see the ingredients in their food so that they can protect their health and or their child’s health. Therefore, people should have the right to know what’s in their food.
Another reason why food companies should label the ingredients in their food is because it will help people make better choices on what to buy. For instance, if a person is at a store and they are determining what type of food is healthier for them they won’t be able to make their choice because the ingredients isn’t labeled. Without the food ingredients labeled, people will have a hard time determining which food is healthier. Therefore, food companies should label the ingredients in the food they make.
Others may think that the food companies that don’t label the food they make won’t be as much of an issue because people are not forced to buy any particular food in the U.S if they don’t want to. People who complain about not knowing the ingredients in the food are not forced to buy it.They can easily look for something else to buy that shows the ingredients.However, knowing what’s in the food will help protect people’s health and help make better choices on what to buy.
In conclusion, People should have the right to know what’s in their food because food quality determines people’s health and it will help people know what food is healthier for them.
