Food Inc Response
What are your reactions to the documentary Food, Inc? Please make your responses thoughtful and include direct references from the film. Check grammar and spelling before posting. Due on Monday.
Watching Food Inc. was really disturbing. It got into how there are diseases in our food and the animals are mistreated. While they are going to slaughter it doesn't seem right to treat them badly. Most people wouldn't treat a dog or cat like that but what really makes a cow different? I thought the image of a chickens getting kicked and thrown into cages was worse then when the farmer killed one. It was because of how it was done. For centuries people have killed animals for food, I do not think that should end just how its done. I found this movie a real eye opener. It really makes you think about what you're eating and that's a good thing.
When I was watching Food Inc. I thought that it was wrong what the people were doing to those animals because they have a right to live just like us. It looked like something that the Nazis would have done during the Holocaust but then you have to remember that they are just animals and if they were not ment for us to eat then they wouldn't be made out of meat. I can't blame anyone for not eating meat or protesting against this abuse of the animals but I will continue to eat the food because it tastes so good.
I think Food Inc is a very good documentary. It’s really shocking and disgusting what the food companies do to the animals. The government should step up and end this non sense. If this keeps going on then it's only going to get worst and just likes that lady's child died, many others can die or get really sick because they ate FOOD
Watching Food Inc. for a second time really pushed the docs. views toward me even more. After watching it I was even more sickened and disturbed than the first time. I am glad that I have now seen this so that I do know what im eatting but at the same time I will never look at a hamburger the same way ever again. Lastly I am glad that i now am informed about what I am eatting.
What really shocked me about this film was the part in which the woman's child died from just eating a hamburger. I know this sounds slightly paranoid, but it really made me think about eating a McDonald's hamburger and the potential risk of dying from it. The other thing that really surprised me was the fact that so many food companies are owned by the same corporations, which care much more about money than they do about the true food. The scenes about how the animals were treated were horrible, but personally were nothing new. I've seen a lot of stuff about how horrible the treatments are. But what did shock me was that we are feeding corn to all animals, whether they naturally eat it or not.
I think this movie was really great, because it showed how savage could humans be to fulfill their needs? And I really think that we don't have a right to kill animals because they are same living organism like us. In some parts it was really disgusting, when the farmer kill the chickens. I recommend others not to be a part of them who kill animals or eat animals.
Watching Food Inc. made me realize why I stopped eating meat. It was most likely the smartest thing I have ever done for my self. Not only do I feel healthier but to know that I'm saving a poor animals life makes me feel better. Animals also have feelings, its so disturbing to me and makes me truly sick how us as humans can treat other living things this way. Food Inc. makes you think about what your eating and how people should make better choices of what they eat everyday.
