Food Inc.

       If you have never seen the documentary Food Inc., watch it. It will change the way you think about food and life in general. Did you know that cows, who are naturally built to be fed grass in order to maintain optimum health, are now fed corn because it is significantly cheaper? Did you know that unlike grass, corn provides a breeding ground for E coli in the cow's stomach and is then in the fecal waste that the cows trod through up to their ankles in 24 hours a day. The cows are then brought to the slaughter house in the same condition (covered in their own feces and waste) and slaughtered, often not being cleaned as thoroughly as possible and then chopped up and sent all over the nation. That's where the E coli virus comes from. The virus that kills. All because big companies that mass produce want to do so the cheapest way possible (there is nothing wrong with that) without any concern for what it's doing to the economy, the farmers or the consumers (there IS something wrong with that).
       That is just one of the many disgusting things that makes me re-think what I eat after watching that show. Seriously, watch it. Because who knows where your food actually comes from. Do you?
       Peace out.
