Just Watched Food Inc.

I hadn't really considered it from that angle. How very socialist is -that-?!

The more I learn about how this country fleeces "we the people", the more I realize that something has to be done. :banghead:

You leave this film feeling exactly that way...it is all incredibly political :banghead:
 
It's a shame you don't care because if you look at the sheer numbers of cancer in our population compared to 100 years ago, the fact that so much of what we eat is so unnatural and that the animals we eat don't even eat what their bodies require, you might see a potential reason for the increase in disease. So yeah, I suppose you might even see that the foods we do eat are killing us.

Animal issues aside, what hit me more than anything about this documentary was just what American farmers have to tolerate to even survive. Don't shut yourself off because you assume this is all about animals, it's also about monopolies for genetically produced grains and how farmers are forced to either conform to what a monopoly demands or they go out of business. This isn't a PETA-related documentary and I do hope most that watch it have a whole new respect for farmers and what it takes to get food on your table.
I have not watched this movie, but the above is why I've switched to an all-organic diet. :thumbsup:

So start doing something? It needn't be anything grand, just stop buying subsidized foods, for one.

Do as much business as possible in the black market to reduce the incomes of the federal government and states.

They attacked us through OUR money a century ago. Lets attack them through their money today.
