Food inc.

In class we watched this film titled, "Food Inc". We were told before watching the film that if you have an uneasy stomach then it might be sort of hard to watch. At first I thought I had a pretty strong stomach, but some of this film was too much. I knew a little bit about where our food comes from, but I had no clue about how cruel it is in all actuality. When they showed the scene with the chicken farmer, it made me sick how filthy the environment was and how cruel they treated those animals. The only purpose of a chicken farmer is to raise chickens to just be killed when they get big enough. Same goes for any other animal like cows. So next time you go into the grocery store to buy a few steaks, look around at all that meat and really think about how it all actually got there. It wasn't grown from the ground or picked from a tree, but it was a living creature that was slaughtered for your own personal gain, which is having food on your table.
