Moved because we were ruining some people's dinner... This is a documentary I recently watched.
(continued from another thread)
I have a steak marinading in the fridge AND a rotisserie chicken I picked up Friday morning. Not sure which I want, but I'll have it with corn and maybe some french bread or pasta.
I would suggest you never watch "Food, Inc."
No, everyone SHOULD watch it! People need to be more informed of where our food comes from and how big corporations only care about lining their pockets and not providing nutritious food for us. That way people can make informed decisions on what to buy and eat.
It is deeply disturbing and I have to say it is clearly an eye opening documentary. I never knew they fed corn to cows but I do know that cows aren't meant to eat corn. Soooo, it causes them to get a back-up of e-coli. I wont go any further... you saw it... so you know! But the tube thingy they put in their stomachs... like I said, I'm very deeply disturbed. I saw the words chicken and steak and got nauseated.
Um, duh. Anyone with half a brain knows that businesses exist to make money, not do charity work.
And my thanks to the Purdue people and the Birdseye people, not to mention the Shoppers Food Warehouse people, who provided me with this lovely meal this evening.
Enjoy!
It's a rumen cannula. It really doesn't affect them at all. They can lead a perfectly normal life with it.
Um, duh. Of course corporations exist to make money, but when they go about it using unsafe methods, that's not right. Did you know that in 1970 the USDA perfomed over 50,000 food safety inspections? Did you know that in 2007 (or 08) they only performed just over 9,000? Did you also know that our country won't shut down a processing facility even if they repeatedly get in trouble for having unsanitary conditions and occurrences of E. coli? That is pathetic. These corporations are largely allowed to police themselves. We can see where that's getting us. Food laced with E. coli isn't exactly something most people want to eat. I'd rather not eat beef that's been fed animal byproducts or chicken that's been fed arsenic.
:shrug: So don't eat it. I'll continue to live my life living in ignorance and eating yummy food, sorry.
I'm glad I heard you say it; for some reason, even after they said the same thing in the documentary, I just couldn't bring myself to believe it didn't.
