Did any information in the book come as a surprise to you? If so, why do you think that specific piece of knowledge was kept from you? Does the producer of this knowledge have any responsibility? What is your responsibility as a knower?

I thought it was surprising that meat suppliers are trying to make it so they animals that they are raising eat corn. They are even using this practice on salmon, which are normally carnivorous animals. By doing this it probably saves money for the companies it self, corn being a much cheaper supply than another that would be needed to feed the animals. However by doing this it affecting the diet of the people who eat these animals. Besides the actually animal you ingest you are also getting nutrients from what the animal itself has eaten. If the animals by large amount of suppliers have only eaten corn then the people ingesting the animals are eating large amount of corn, changing their diet in a way that they are not aware of. If the animal was eating the foods that it would consume if it was not in captivity the humans consuming this animal would get these nutrients passes to them, bus since the animals are not eating this way, the humans are not receiving this. I feel like this specific information is kept from the public because if consumers were to know this, then they would most likely buy from meat suppliers that are not following this corn trend, causing the ones who do to lose massive amounts of business. The producer of this knowledge should have the responsibility to tell people what they are feeding their animals and how it affects their everyday diet. However that will not happen, for it would lead to them losing business. As a knower of this information I have the responsibility of sharing it with others, if I chose to do so.
