Food Inc.

There are so many things from this movie that irritated me, and so many things I want to do because of this movie. One thing that irritated me was the treatment of these animals, as well as the workers. I knew about the poor treatment of the workers, and I had an idea that the treatment of the animals was bad, but not to the extent that the movie showed. I had no idea that these chickens were so cramped together in dark buildings with feed coming out of little tubes above them. The fact that these animals could barely take a few steps before plopping down seems just inhumane, even if they are just being bred for food. The other thing that irritated me about the treatment of the animals was that they only fed the cows corn. I know that this makes them fatter, and I knew that corn is probably one of the most, if not THE most, grown food because of its diverse uses, as stated in the video. But the fact that feeding these cows corn, something they are not made to eat, makes the meat worse to eat, it just seems all around wrong. Not only are you feeding something to an animals that naturally does not eat it, but it makes the meat us humans are eating worse. I don't think I'll ever get that image of the round tube-thing stuck in the side/inside of that cow out of my mind.
The main thing that made me the most angry from this movie was the story of the two year old child dying from the meat at a fast food restaurant. I remember hearing about it years ago, and it made me more aware of all the recalls, like the ones on peanut butter and spinach. One enormous part of my identity is my attachment to children, and the fact that these big companies are so detached from the consequences of their decisions, like the private farmer stated, frustrates me to no end. It is this reason that causes me to be against such huge business corporations.
I think one thing I will definitely do is buy at least two copies of this movie and send them around to my family and friends, pleading for them to watch it. I think its about time we spread the word and introduce people to where their food is coming from.
