In today’s monetary world, economic troubles are due to a number of political, ecological and cultural factors, where one may seemingly blame one more than the other. The international food system and political hierarchies from leader to pawn are certainly both economically intertwined on a worldwide scale. Coming from a global background, I have been able to see the effects of globalization first-hand and regardless of any international institution’s effort to explain the way systems develop, the process is so dynamic that in actuality we can never see the entire picture unless we are there in the immediate environment. To understand how France and India differentiate in terms of their disparities in cost, the kinds of foods being eaten, where they come from, how they are prepared, living conditions, and whether the diet is traditional or modern, one must actually travel there. 
Regardless if you choose to travel or not, you can clearly see the lack of hygienic facilities in Peter Menzel’s online gallery of India. There are numerous toxic substances that seep into various parts of the food supply where the effects on the food supply ranges from water to sub soil contamination. Depending on what the contamination source is, more specific effects would be hard to speculate upon. The differences in the amount of people in poverty in India compared to France is not morally or politically justifiable. The photos from France depict food that was prepared in a hygienic modern manner and or stored in refrigerators to keep it from going bad. Essentially in France nature has a larger scope because of the highly educated population. Regardless of what scope we have in mind about our surroundings, one prevailing concept emerges. It is the idea that the French share about the environment, that humanity must have some sort of ethical duty towards it, and this ultimately separates the two countries.
