On watching Food, Inc.

Watching this documentary stirred. me. up. Yes. I cried. Big fat tears. Strangely enough, it was the chickens that brought it out.

The Food industry, folks, it’s a raging bastard behemoth.

This is what we do to ourselves; I know I do it to myself: we get caught up in these systems, situations, crazy circumstances, and we stare at our reflection in the mirror and ask, “How did I let this happen?!  I am so much smarter than this!  How did I not see this coming?!?”

Granted, we are not omniscient. We can plan something out thinking that we are making these grand improvements… and still our best efforts can be a waste of time at best. We just can’t predict every contingency.  I say all this as a way of excusing an inexcusable state of existence, the American Food Industry.

If you are unaware of how the majority of our beef, pork, poultry, corn, and by extension all processed foods and fast foods are raised, cultivated and prepared… you are missing out on some powerful knowledge.

Honestly, I don’t even know what else to say. 

If you’ve ever wondered:

  • Why free-range eggs?
  • Why grass-fed beef?
  • Why not genetically motified seed?
  • Why not High-fructose corn syrup?
  • All those “organic” farmers are just looking to take advantage of the rich white suckers.

Watch this movie, learn, and change what you eat.
