Industrial Food

First thing i would like to talk about is the movie clips from The Meatrix. It immediately caught my attention due to the graphics and the theme based off of the matrix. Even though it was an animated film about how our food is being treated, i learned more than i thought. In reality, our society is always discovering something new with our foods. New illnesses from this and that because of the process of our foods. Just like the "Morpheus" was saying, because they take the cows to get milk, the mama cows can not feed their children so they feed the babies blood from the dead cows which causes mad cow diseases, which is harmful to us. SO by knowing that, it seems to me this industrialization of our foods is really killing us. It's the reason for many cases of obesity, all these processed meat being injected with artificial matters. This is really a crisis as i think about it. We have factory's taking over these farms, taking farmers out of businesses and removing the healthy foods to make "fake foods". To solve this issue people need to start realizing and start helping these animals. it's like saying cannibals take over and they start doing the same they do to animals to humans. We wouldn't want that.

According to fatal Harvest stated. "However, numerous studies have put the costs of such dislocation since World War II in the tens of billions of dollars." which means this is where it all began just like Pollan said in the Omnivore's Dilemma. Many people would say we can not survive with out our industrialized foods but i think we can because we been doing it before it was in the making. It just so happens because of the machines being produce, it makes more food which maximizes profit. I wonder how our lives would be now if our foods were brought from real farms.

It is sad to see the animal cruelty. I never really though about how the animals must feel. Many people would say " I can not live with out my meat". If they never ate meat they would not say this. The chicken and meat everyone eats is the desire for taste. If all meat was nasty no one would eat it. It is sad how the animals die just so we can have food to eat but then again it is taken to the middle man being processed with some kind of chemical so abuse never does stop being now us in a society and many eat meaters are being abused by the factories. I know there are many studies if vegetarians live longer than Meat eaters but what i would like to say is how can we prove this fact? What can our society do so can be eating healthier with out any harm done?
