Food Inc.

This movie really affected how i think about food. Every time i see meat, i think of the horrible things i saw in that movie. i remembered the chickens, laying in a mixture of poop and other dead chickens. i thought of the cows, using each other for support because their bodies were too heavy for their bones to carry. I thought of how unfair it was to the normal farmers who grew using unmodified seeds and unmodified animals who were being shut down by the big meat companies in order to assimilate them into being as dangerous and efficient as possible.I remeber the farmer who liked to sit and talk with his animals, and i realized that, although i had originally laughed at how weird this was, friendliness and relations were an important part of any product-producer relationship.

The big business produce companies have made it so that there can be no interaction between the producer and his produce, making the farmer unable to check if his cows are sick or if something is bothering them. forcing them to be covered in their own feces, spreading disease easily. if an antibiotic resistant bacteria got into a cow pen, it would spread across the country like wildfire, because the cattle would pass it to eachother quickly, and the farmer wouldn't notice, so when he took them away for slaughtering, they would pass it to all of the other nearby cows, causing an epidemic. the way we currently produce food is disgusting, unfair, and unhygenic, and something needs to be done about it.
