I Love food. I have never been picky, I have never had a problem eating anything, but after watching this movie I am seriously traumatized. I was actually raised on a farm (yes you can believe it) we always had chickens, cows, horses, turkeys, and geese. We usually raised them to eat them. One cow would feed our family of eight up to six to eight months. The chickens we usually kept for the eggs and we would have about seven chickens at one time and they would produce one to two eggs every day. The geese we would only have about one or two at a time and we had them as rescue pets so there was no eating unless they got mean and would attack. I guess the saying ignorance is bliss is true, because I never thought, never knew that the animals I was eating- now that I am not on the farms- were so tortured.

These animals are tortured from the inside out. they are given hormones, antibiotic, and many other chemicals in their "food". Yes the chicken is bigger and there is now more meat to feed more, but the chickens organs are to big for themselves and they die at a very painful rate. Taking to steps and falling to the ground, struggling to breath, having that constant feeling your heart is being over worked so you just know you can die at any second. That is what these chickens go through.
I know greed is everywhere and I should not be surprised that big company's do these things to animals and humans. I am just so angry that the government allows all of this. If organic saves the planet, economy, humans, and animals race why don't we just do these things. You would think it be common sense but it is all about the money and it always will be. It is really sad to think that, that is all people think about instant gratification and money.
I think science is a wonderful thing with out it we would still be living in the stone ages. But for science to come in to the kitchen and in to our food I just don't understand. We were fine, people were so much healthier when the animals were natural and we ate natural. Now we have so many things to fear; e.coli, salmonella, mad cow disease and many more. Why is are food being engineered why is it not being grown like it always has been?
I personally Hated this movie but I do feel it was very informative and opened my eyes. From this point on, I will keep my family and my home organic because that is just what feels right to me. I wont see the machines, the chemicals and the cruelty.
Great input jenn. Not only has government allowed this but I think we as a nation has allowed this. I am one of those rare people that only go to wal mart every 100 or so years. Everyone looking for the cheap and easy to get everything they can under one roof. i ranted on my post that this was filmed in 2009. Where are the activist? On my drive home life went in as usual....I pass by at least seven fast food joints and as usual for a lunch time crowd...they drive thru's had many people waiting.
ReplyDeleteA lot of us turned head, closing our ears while these animals were brutally killed in these factories. I admire how you mentioned the greed these businesses had for their own gain. It is also "fishy" how these big corporations declined the interviews.
ReplyDeleteI feel like although organic and GMO-free food is more expensive, there are ways to take baby steps in order to transitioning to a 100% organic household. Sprouts is an awesome farmers market and there are a lot of them located throughout the valley and they have amazing deals. Like they say, "where there is a will, there is a way." I respect you having an organic household and standing up for people who are uninformed about their food!
