Good food is food that is nutritious and affordable.

Everyone deserves to have access to healthy food. But the reality is that many people in the world do not. Hunger and malnutrition are major problems, and they are only getting worse. The food system is failing to provide people with the food they need to survive and thrive.

There are many reasons why our food system is broken. One reason is that it is too focused on profit. The food industry is dominated by a few large corporations that are more interested in making money than in providing people with healthy food. These corporations often use harmful practices to maximize their profits, such as using pesticides and antibiotics.

Another reason why our food system is broken is that it is not sustainable. The way we produce food is damaging the environment. We are using too much water, polluting the air and water, and contributing to climate change. We need to find ways to produce food that is sustainable for the planet.

Clean food is food that is free of harmful chemicals.

We all want to eat food that is safe and healthy. But the reality is that our food is often contaminated with harmful chemicals. These chemicals can come from pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and other sources. They can make us sick, and they can even cause cancer.

The food industry needs to do a better job of protecting our food from harmful chemicals. We need to demand that the government regulate the use of these chemicals and that food companies use safer alternatives.

Fair food is food that is produced in a way that is fair to farmers and workers.

Farmers and workers are the backbone of our food system. They work hard to produce the food that we eat. But they often do not get a fair share of the profits. In many cases, they are paid poverty wages and work in dangerous conditions.

We need to demand fair prices for farmers and workers. We need to support policies that protect their rights and ensure that they have a decent standard of living.

We need to demand good, clean, and fair food for all.

Our food system is broken. But we can fix it. We need to demand good, clean, and fair food for all. We need to support farmers and workers. We need to hold the food industry accountable. And we need to make our voices heard to our elected officials.

Together, we can create a food system that is good for people and the planet.
