Last night I watched a great movie: Food, Inc. I highly recommend you watch this movie and see how your meat is really produced. It’s kind of horrifying. I’m the kind of person who likes to eat meat and realizes that cows are kind of nature’s meat producers. But I respect that, and want them to live happy comfortable lives until they are made into food. I have no intention of becoming a vegetarian. I don’t even think cows probably mind being made into food that much.
But when you see this movie, you will never want to eat non-organic natural meat again. Even if you don’t care about how horribly these animals are treated, although I don’t see how you couldn’t, you will care about the unsanitary conditions. Do you really want to eat chicken and cow meat from animals that have been standing in inches deep poop? Do you really want to eat chickens that live in horrible conditions where dead chickens need to be removed each day because so many can’t even live in the conditions. When the animals go to slaughter they are covered with poop and have so many more diseases then they ever have in the past.
You will see how most all, the humans are abused by the big meat companies. The farmers, ranchers, and other workers, are put into positions where they can’t afford to say no or have a conscience.
You also see that Monsanto is a heartless cruel company that abuses humans and farmers. The company must be run by Satan himself. Their lawyers are ruthless and go after the little guy as a business model. Anyone who tries to run an honest business is a threat to Monsanto and they will sue them just because they know they will run out of money and eventually settle, even if they are right. In the end the farmers are destroyed emotionally and financially.
But the best part of this movie is the happy ending. They show how just making the choice to buy organic and locally grown seasonal foods you can really make a difference. You can make all the difference. For me, a single guy, that’s not a problem. After seeing this movie I have no problem paying even twice as much for organic food, although it’s normally not that much. I understand that families can’t always make the choice, and it’s okay, the rest of us will help bring the prices down. The movie even shows how Walmart no longer carries anything but organic milk because people want that, and you know how Walmart is with prices.
Buy or watch the movie on demand at Amazon: Food, Inc.
