Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I saw "Food, Inc." yesterday and I would say it's a mixed bag. It does shed light on several important issues that many people may not be familiar with including animal cruelty at factory farms but the solution it offers up (for that issue) is to buy from farmers who treat their animals in a more humane manner which is of course better than factory farmed animals but they never, ever offer going vegan as an option. They just completely ignore veganism as an option and never talk about the health hazards associated with eating animal products, the environmental affects of farming animals even if they are free-range (global warming) or the fact that there is still some cruelty involved in free range animals (what part of killing is humane?) not to mention the fact that some companies lie about how well they treat their animals. One part of the movie was especially interesting and probably good for people to see is how a free-range farmer killed his chickens. It was very cruel and gruesome. I was shocked that they included that segment. Usually pro free range propaganda never shows them killing the animals. Maybe that will at least wake people up to the fact that there is still cruelty involved in free range farms. So I'm not really sure if I would recommend this movie to most people. I guess it's better than nothing for the general public to see but I just don't know. Warren**************Make your summer sizzle with fast and easy recipes for the grill.
