Started watching Food Inc (can only do so in small increments)

And right away you get the unmistakable parallel between how the food industry treats its animals, and how the corporate industry treats its employees.

It made me double sick.

Is there any going back from this abomination that we call "the way things are"??

What will it take? I feel like someone living in Poland in 1938, glimpsing what's coming but not knowing what to do (except maybe flee--but where?)

:sigh:

1. eat well

and teach others

2. It completely ties them together when we see a pig "processing" plant

in NC (I am confused how "processing" became a euphemistic sanitized version of slaughter house). That portion of the film also exposes the way the food industry uses the labor of undocumented workers in the most cynical, self-serving ways.

3. i watched the whole thing strait through

And when I got to the part where they were processing the guts and slimy parts of the cow with ammonia to kill the salmonella and making it all into a powder to add to the hamburger that they sell to fast food joints I vowed never to eat another one.
And so far i have not.


But what we can do is change our habits and seek out non processed food of good quality and eat that instead. buy local produce and learn to cook it for ourselves...I now even make my own Piza...and it is better than any thing I could buy and does not make me thirsty as hell after eating it....and I have become a big fan of brown rice.
