Food Inc.

Awesome!

I just got back from a local farmers market and picked up some eggs and chicken! Grif, I feel the same now when Ive gone out wondering where they are getting their food haha.

You should all just go vegan like me.

You dont have to eat nasty foods. I had the best tofu brownie the other day - tasted better than normal ones.
I can eat and live cruelty free (i say this while sitting on a suede couch *ahem* but my mom bought that without me knowing for my apartment). I can eat as much as I want without feeling gross. I continue to lose weight no matter how much I eat and I just feel healthier and happier.

Food Inc is scary. How can you trust whats in your food if you cant even read half the ingredient list. And the animal slaughter is disgusting.

I haven't seen this video but I already had feeling that making food as fast as they do they aren't doing it naturally and they just load it with crap to make it last longer.

We started raising a garden which I hope to expand and plant fruit trees like apples, peaches, pears, pineapple, and prunes or plums.

Not to offend the vegans but we no longer buy our meat. We have our own cattle herd which aren't factory cows either, they are free to roam our large pasture and have ponds, fresh grass, trees and a nice cozy barn in the winter time, but whenever our meat stocks get low we send one off to get butchered at the local meat locker.

I will have to watch this movie sometime, is it sold in stores like Wal-mart or will I have to order it.

This is why we buy our food at the butcher's, greengrocer's and fishmonger's.
*I love the British names for shops, they're far more original than Americans*

Also, I began to stop enjoying my food at McDonalds; and I haven't even watched the film. It's just all greasy and sticky. That doesn't even taste like real meat -you should try out fresh sausages, that is actual meat from natural farming.

And apples, strawberries with cream, melons and pears; far better than sweets.

Yeah I'm a strange guy.

[Fighter-of-Wars]

Not strange, just more normal than the masses.

I dont know that I could ever be a vegan. As much as I respect the people who are able to do it I just like meat to much lol.

Fighter, that is awesome! A friend of mine used to have some chickens and every once in a while would kill one and his mom would cook it for dinner. Was always the best! Also I really want to start a garden also, I think that is a great idea!

As for the movie, Im sure you can probably find it in stores. I found it on Netflix with the instant streaming to your laptop or tv and watched it that way, but I see no reason it wouldnt be in a store.

Hmm... Vegan would be far too difficult for me to do personally I think.

And Zenit, I agree. Next time you're reaching for a bottle of coke, look over to the fruit juices instead, they're just as nice and they're so much better for you. (Some are anyway, not talking about Capri Sun here. )
