Food, Inc.

Saw this movie last night. I can't even tell you. It was disturbing on so many different levels. From the misery inflicted on the animals we eat - cows, pigs, chickens, (horrifying really) to the antibiotics and irradiation that happens so we don't all get Ecoli or some other horrible bacteria....to the actual fact that more and more food is contaminated and the Supreme Court ruled that the food inspectors do not have the POWER to shut down plants that continually have contamination. The fact that you may be taking your life in your hands every time you eat something you don't know where it came from.
That big business owns these huge factory farms, and MONSANTO owns virtually every soybean on the earth, due to their patent on genetically modified soybeans, and heaven help anyone that hasn't bought their seeds, they swoop down with the force of a billion lawyers....nobody can fight that, even if they are in the right... So basically we can't eat beef, chickens, pork, or soybeans. What's left? This movie truly scared me, .. cause you just know it's true.
