Food Inc.

After watching the documentary, Food, INC. over a month ago, I have not eaten the same.  This movie is so powerful and educational!  I highly recommend you watch it and take notes.  If you have daughters, please watch this movie.  If you have sons, please watch this movie.  If you care about animals, please watch this movie.  If you care about your body and your health, please watch this movie!!

Did you know that cows eat grass?  Yea I think everybody knew that.  But did you know that billions of cows everyday are being fed corn?  Corn is cheaper and gets them fatter faster.  Corn is bad for cows, their bodies cannot digest the corn they are given.

Notice the years above the chickens.  Notice the chickens bodies.  Notice the number of days this takes to grow a chicken to that size.  47 days....isn't that chicken really still a baby?  Why are we eating chickens that are full of growth hormones?  Did you know you were eating chickens with growth hormones?  Do you know what effects growth hormones have on your body and your children's bodies?  If you eat/buy fast food chicken, you are eating growth hormones and supporting this awful abuse.  Do you eat/buy Tyson chicken?  Then you are eating growth hormones and supporting this awful abuse.  Basically, if you are not buying locally grown and loved chickens (meat, veggies, fruit) that have not been injected with growth hormones and abused by living their horrible lives in the dark until they are killed, you are eating growth hormones and supporting this abuse (which I was not aware of until watching Food, INC.).
