#2 FOOD INC

The first thing I have to say is EWW!! I had no idea how many hormones and pesticides were used on our food. It made me sad to see how badly the animals were treated and how they were able to fast forward the growth process of the chickens. Its funny how after watching that movie I don't crave fast food as often as i used to. I always new fast food wasn't good for you but i had no idea how bad it truly was or how gross. I decided to make a pact with my self that i'm going to stay away from all of the unhealthy snacks and fast food as best as possible and go for a healthier alternatives. I think after watching this movie people cant help but want to know what there eating and change there eating habits for the better.I think everyone should watch this movie and be informed of what they are putting in there bodies I think if more people knew they'd be less inclined to go for the dollar menu. If someone were to ask me what food inc is about id tell them "that movie is the truth about the food you eat,where it comes from and how it's produced".


I did a little Walmart recon work myself and found that those high fructose corn syrup fizzy drinks were super cheap compared to unsweetened teas and other healthier alternatives.

  1. nice picture. I still think dollar menu items and what not aren't that bad for you. you just need to exercise. Everything should be in moderation. Although the way they treated the animals was a bit disturbing.

  2. I like how you incorporated pictures into your post ! [:
    I couldn't agree with you more on how disgusting our food has become. I also agree with how animals are treated inhumanely. They should at least have the right to run free around the farm instead of standing in their own feces with no room to walk.

  3. I love how you put pictures in all of your blogs...maybe I'll be able to figure it out one day! haha. The cow picture at the top is SO adorable! I agree with you, how could they treat these cute and loving animals like this?! Insanity! I've also really been looking into what I'm eating. I feel much healthier ever since I watched food inc. because I've been avoiding processed foods and junk. It's amazing what a difference it makes in such a short period of time!

  4. Food Inc also made a strong impact on me. It is preoccupant all the pesticides and hormones that are in our foods, and it can affect our health if we don’t make changes.
    I agree with you that we need to make radical changes in our eating habits, it is important to recommend this movie to our love ones and cook more at home.

  5. I think everyone should have the chance to watch this video on how our food is processed and how poorly the animlas are treated. Glad to see that you are trying to mkae an healthier choice when eating and cutting fast food as much as possiable too. I too am doing the samething. Besides,it's cheaper not having to go and buy that fast food crap.

  6. After watching this video I don't really have an apitite for burgers and fries anymore. All I think of is greasy horrible food and how awful those animals were treated. Most people think eating healthy food is expensive, but I go to trader joes and get healthy food for a pretty decent price :)
