In the documentary, Fresh a guy said all our economy cares
about is “more cheap stuff, more and more cheap stuff.” After watching this
documentary I know I am not one of those people who just cares about cheap
stuff. Many parts of this documentary
disgusted me but also inspired me. Seeing the nasty and harsh conditions the
animals we eat live in inspires me to someday attempt to run a small farm. I
have been interested in farming for quite a while but have not found a way to
make it a fiscally responsible move since I would be starting from scratch. Yet
after watching this, there seems to be a need for better farming tactics before
the majority of our nation’s food becomes poison which makes money a less
significant factor. Anyway, this movie also brought forth a couple of questions
I feel need to be asked. What stores sell food that is naturally grown or
raised? The video made a comment that if all farms grew the vegetables and
raised the meat in a natural way it could produce enough food. The question is;
if these methods are so much healthier and can produce enough food then why are
major farms not doing it this way? This to me just does not make much sense
because even if there would be less food being produced it would not cause the businesses
to loss money; lower supply would simply cause higher prices which would even
itself out over time.
I agree. This film is truly inspirational. But, I do not see myself as a farmer, mainly because I have lived in an apartment my entire life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said. It is a very good question as to why the large farms are not growing crops and livestock in a more natural way. If we can still grow as much, why not do it a way that is healtier for us, and the plants and animals.
ReplyDeleteGood Essay. I definitely agree that if farms can produce enough food naturally, then why aren't they doing it that way. Nice job!
