Talking These Ideas Out


- I have been severely struck by "Food Inc." I knew these things were happening, but i didn't really care or actually sat down and thought about these until someone actually shows you the things that are really happening to the food. What really has struck me about "Food Inc." was the slaughter houses/animal concentration camps . It's very hard for me to believe that humans can do so much cruelty to animals especially that these animals are born and raised to be killed. I believe that we humans being the superior species should use remedies or solutions to keep animals from suffering. True, some of these remedies might be expensive, but if it helps rid of animal suffering, or diseases such as collide that harms humans as well, it might be worth to loose a couple of dollars.

- I highly agree with the concepts from both "Food Inc" and "My Ishmael" because they both prove and relate to the real world that are true facts. Both share points that make you think around the world around you and think about fats that are going on behind your back.

- My mother thought about the things that I shared to her about what i learned in class. She thought that it's very sad that people go so far to earn money, but what can ordinary people like her do? Those companies pay the government so they can continue to do the damage they create on our everyday food and so, we are unable to do anything especially in these economic times.

  1. I completely agree with the inhumanity that companies continue to commit on a daily business. The truth is that those who have power in this world are accustomed to using that power to harm others. but i have to disagree with your mother's opinion. It's always possible for one human to make a difference.

  2. It is very sad and gross how people are so cruel to animals and take them like whatever. We should be smarter and think of other forms to make food and things like that. I know why your mom thinks that, I have thought that too and I'm pretty sure that other people think like that. But,Vincent is right you can tell your mom to buy meat of animals that you're sure weren't treated badly.
