Entry #5 Fresh

Food for thought. When I think about the food I ingest it makes my stomach cringe. I feel terrible for the animals, and not being able to substitute what I eat with another type of protein, saddens me. I could become Vegan, but as a Diabetic, I need a source of protein and meats. I'm not well educated on the different types of meat, but if there's anything besides pig, chicken, or cow meat I can eat, I would like to.
I feel that animals don't deserve to be treated the way they do; even if it's the circle of life. Imagine it being the other way around, and all the animals ate humans instead. People were tossed around and abused ready for the animals to intake our organs and the flesh on our body.

I felt like the audience of the film was anyone that intakes food or anyone taking in educational purposes or just wanting to know something about Food Industries. But also the film is for anyone interested in where their food might come from. The tone for this film was informational. The movie gave a lot of insight on how people take care of their farm animals, but also how they feed humans; because that is basically what they're doing. Killing the animals to make pork or chicken, etc and making some money off food for us to survive. Aside from this, the film made me think of all the suffering animals, and what they might be feeling or going through. I also thought about all the food I intake and how it's scary to one day eat the wrong food, then it's a possibility for one to become sick. It's just sad, but this movie was important to watch.

I think that Americans should have the right to know what we're eating; as it pertains to us and could possibly be cooked wrong one day; not to mention our health. We could also take in considerations that not all people cook food correctly, or that what we eat could be harmful. It's also just good to know about preparation, how the food is cooked, and where it might come from.




We as Americans should care. There are people that die from getting sick from eating bad food. That can be prevented if more people knew about the situation and go passed just  thinking about the money, and take better care of the food we eat. 

Imagine making more money that way instead of people not wanting to eat a certain food because they're worried its not good and something like food poisoning or Ebola will take effect. Hence, anywhere you go to eat, ask around about their food.
