Food Inc.

After watching about two thirds of the documentary I almost wanted to become a vegan, but then I thought of the odds of contracting a virus like salmonella or any of the other ones they list. First off I think most adult humans can overcome the sickness, and second the outbreaks are vastly spread out throughout time so I'm gonna say the odds are around 1:1,000,000,000. I do believe though that the way the animals were treated was some what cruel. The scene where the chickens are getting their necks sliced open was a bit to gruesome for me. I swear I heard one of the chickens screaming "HELP ME" as he was about to be slaughtered. I think one of the messages from the film is to realize how unsafe and cheap bad beef is. Sure places advertise that it is "real meat", but from what remains of the cow or chicken did it come from. I think if I had a choice I would rather pay more for something that was free of diseases, even with those odds. I understand the fact that some people just do not have the time or money to spend on healthy made food but there are alternatives to fast food that you can take. Even though I myself always enjoy a double quarter pound with cheese eventually I always look back and realize how bad this is for my health and could really affect the lives of my children in the future. We all must make a conscious decision to strive for better.
