Entry #4: Food, Inc.

Before watching Food, Inc I would occasionally think about the fast food meat I would consume.

I am a picky eater when it comes to meat, probably like most other people my age.

Now that I have seen Food, Inc. I am thinking of a lot more than just fast food meats.

I learned that even the meat in the grocery store is something I should be looking into and thinking about. Seeing how some "farmers" treat their cattle was shocking to me! 

Their living conditions do not look inhabitable, or healthy.

In this movie they showed how they kill the animals and treat them during the process of raising them. In my opinion, they were very cruel to all of the animals.

Watching them in their daily techniques of killing all of these animals looked unsanitary. I learned that one package of meat in the grocery store contains up to hundreds of different cows, not just the one cow I was thinking of. Now if one of the many cows in that one package has a disease that can kill us, it is not only in one package but inside all of them.
I am shocked about the amount of greed displayed in some American businesses.
I feel as though we are so caught up in the thought of supply and demand that we will feed our customers anything as long as it is cheap and can come in through large amounts at a time.
I do not like the fact so much of our everyday food is engineered. We are in the mindset that our food is healthy and grown fresh on the farm when in reality it is made in what is a factory.
The words "factory" and "engineering" should not be involved in our food world.
All of the bacteria in our food is absolutely disgusting! I don't believe we should be eating meat from sick and drug ridden animals or eating meat that has been soaked in ammonia.
We should care about what we eat and where the food we are eating comes from but where are we to get the truth when the packages assume "farm fresh".
Where do we find good and healthy food to eat?
