Why should people grow their own food?

IMG_0059People should grow their own food because it’s healthy. It’s unhealthy to buy food from the store. If you grow your own food it doesn’t have any sugar,calories or fat. Also, it’s much easier to grow your own food because you don’t have to spend any money.That’s why people should grow their own food.

On factory farms cows don’t eat grass. They actually eat corn there. On this kind of farm the machines do the work. It’s like prison. In a free range farm cows eat grass and roam freely. Humans do the work. They both slaughter their animals.

You can watch some videos about factory and free range farms here:

The other day we made butter nut squash with apples. I thought that was very” different”. But other than that I thought it was great.
