Well, that's it, I'm done with the meat industry. Hamburger has been out for some time, but now chicken is definitely out. As are non-free-range eggs. And probably all pork and turkey. Sue and Christopher gave me that Bacon of the Month Club membership just in time! Now I can at least occasionally procure bacon from reputable sources. And it's not just meat! I'm going to try very hard to give up processed food. Yes, even Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream chips and Tostitos corn chips. I'm lucky that I live in an area with some options. I can buy eggs directly from a farm where I can see the hens running around, and I can get milk from reputable dairies. And what's more, I can forego one or two five dollar beers per week to be able to afford the higher price of this guilt-free food. Others may not have such an easy time finding alternatives or being able to afford anything but this government subsidized bastardization that the meat, corn and soy companies are offering, and THAT is the main problem and the main point of this film. What is to be done? How can things be turned around? - T
