It's Story Time!

Recently, I watched the movie called Food Inc.  It changed the way I think about food when I eat.  The way food is made has drastically changed in the past 50 years. Meat doesn't come directly from the farm anymore, it comes from animals cramped up in feed houses where they are fed corn, because it is cheaper and makes the animals fatter.  Corn is taking over the food market, and it is in soda, jelly, fruit juices, ice creams, cereal bars, and many other common products.  Also, chicken have been mutated to grow faster and larger, and many die before they can even be slaughtered.

Not only the animals, but the way food is made has become harmful to humans too.  Cows are fed corn and live in their own manure, so if one cow has E. Coli, all the surrounding cows get E. Coli.  These days, one ground beef patty has meat from over 1,000 different cows.

Interesting.... O.o
