Food Inc.

I finally had enough courage to watch Food, Inc.  Food is definitely one of those things that scares me. I happen to love and enjoy food very much but at the same time, I go through phases of being terrified of where they came from and what it takes to get them from animal, to butcher warehouse, packaged into the store, into the kitchens, and In. My. Belly.
I have tried so many times to either do the vegetarian thing, or go organic. Sad thing is going organic is expensive, and reading every single label for every single thing you buy is pretty much impossible!
Meat scares the shit out of me, but unfortunately, being blood type O...I love meat!
In the end...it all boils down to..McDonalds. Yup. Every since the beginning, they have ruined food for us. One thing that I did cut out of my life is fast food. I can definitely live without it. The American Food Industry is a very very scary thing. Food Inc. shows just how evil they are. The farmers are doing whatever they can to survive and they just can't seem to win. It is a disturbing film depicting the importance of Money>Life.
Maybe if more of these movies are exposed, we can all together and change the way we eat. I highly doubt that would ever happen, until we are all dying of obesity and becoming extinct. *sigh* such is life. It's not just about the human beings, we are killing animals for our benefit.  So that we can survive. Let's appreciate where our food comes from and not take it for granted.
I myself, am going to do my best to eat better. More vegetables, less....shit. If I choose to eat meat, it shall all be organic. (same with the veggies do..imagine all of the chemicals they use on EVERYTHING.) Farmers Markets are amazing so be sure to check one out!  And please, watch this movie, soak in some information and take care of yourself.
