For Our Own Diet (I.E.,Food)

           So after watching the movie in class, I seriously contemplated returning to vegetarianism. I only stopped being a vegetarian because I went to college and it would have been very expensive and I wouldn't have been able to afford it then. I couldn't help but react to the images of the animals, so much so that I couldn't watch the whole thing, but instead put my hands over my eyes or put my head down. I  don't know why I couldn't have been blessed with being able to not care about who or what I was eating like some other people and clearly the people on the video who can kick innocent animals. I always thought the PETA company was always doing a good job but no one seems to care about animals as much as they care about themselves.
       I'm not angry as much as puzzled as to why other Americans don't know as much if they don't watch movies and clips like this. I had never seen this movie, I have only seen Super Size Me and that was all about one specific company, McDonalds. The radio and television programs never have shows on about this subject unless you are watching or listening to a specific documentary. I'm not surprised but definitely angry about all these "people" who run these corporations don't care at all about the consumer or what happens when they don't follow regulation. The story of the boy who died in 11 days and the lawsuit in progress is explanation enough. I always have heard or suspected the federal governments play in our big businesses. It always seems where there is money, the feds are knocking at the door with a big basket of goodies.

         Onto the vegetable portion of the video, I was VERY surprised to see that corn makes so so so so so SO many products. I am going to be looking at the labels in the supermarket now to see if there is corn in everything I buy. I mean this has nothing to do with the movie but it must be related to how much people know what is in their food and how they must be eating too much starch and carbohydrates everyday which relates to obesity. We don't need to be eating all these starches and breads and then vegetables and fruits not be in our diets. The way these companies make all of this just a product and how our food is being made like it is something we use, in a factory, is disturbing. They are engineering our food and that is certainly not a word I associate with food.
      I didn't really pay attention to the environmental aspect of the food industry but I know it plays a large role on how our earth is being effected and if they changed some things, it would greatly affect how we live in multiple ways.
       I do not like the idea of all those bacteria and germs in our food one bit. Thousands of people have died from diseases and bacterial fungus' that have  arisen from food companies not caring about all the regulations. It is truly disgusting and scary to think that one day you could be perfectly fine and the next you could be gone.
       It may seem easier to not care and just be ignorant about what we are ingesting into our own bodies but it isn't. I know a lot of people who are so "health"conscious and care so much about being fit but I wonder if they know all of the things about the "organic products" and if they really know how healthy they are truly being. This whole video has made me never want to eat fast food ever again and never eat meat that isn't free range. I'm still contemplating returning to no meat at all but for now, I will just have to throw my conscious away and eat one of those baby pigs and chicks. :(
