Answer 1

Many of our food items are prepared by plants.

How do plants prepare food for us?

• Plants prepare food through photosynthesis.
• In this process, plants prepare glucose by absorbing sunlight, water in the presence of carbon dioxide.
• The end product is glucose and oxygen is obtained as a by-product.
• CO2 + H2O + sunlight ------> C6H12O6 (glucose) + O2
• Through this process light energy is converted into chemical energy.

Answer 2

Many of our food items are prepared by poor labourers and farmers.

• The primary producers of our food are farmers and labourers who do not get compensated enough for the work they do.
• These workers are exploited by corporations that buy the produce at cheap prices and sell them for higher prices to the consumers.
• Most workers do not have the means to go against a giant company so they can't do anything to stop the exploitation.
