Today in class, we were watching Food Inc. If you don't know what that is, it's a documentary about where our food comes from. It was showing the factories where the food (like chicken and cows) were produced in mass. They were also showing where they were keeping the chickens in mass.
This video made me sick. We were watching how cows and chicken were kept in large numbers and were living in their own feces. Also watching the chickens hanging there dead, or the baby chicks getting their necks snapped by a machine.
I knew most of these things. Watching it is something different. You would think it would make me go vegetarian or vegan but it doesn't. Think about it, even if you eat just vegetables you are still exposing yourself to vegetables and fruit that has been basically made in a lab. To someone that makes a difference because it has nothing to do with the animals but to me that matters too. yes these things are a constant battle within me, the urge to not eat the meat because of the cruelty versus eating it because it is so damn good. hey i'm fat, so the part of me that says its so good wins.
