Thoughts on Food Inc.

Watching how they treated animals in the Food Inc. documentary just made me really angry and sad. Nothing deserves to get treated like that.  It's horrible because they are being treated like that just because no one wants to pay extra money so that the animals can live a more enjoyable life style.  It really shouldn't be that difficult to give the cow a quick death, and the same goes for pigs because I can't see why it is necessary to squish the pigs together until they die.  Also, I feel bad for the animals because they have all those drugs pumped into them to make them bigger faster.  The fact that those chickens could not walk around much was horrible to watch, and it just goes to show how bad these chemicals are for them.  I can understand from a buyers point of view that we don't want to save as much money as we can, but I think I would pay more for meat if I got to know that it lived a nice life and a had a quick death.

Not only does the treatment of animals make me angry, but just the industry itself.  I was really shocked when these companies were suing people for basically giving them bad publicity.  It just doesn't make any sense to me, because I am pretty sure our freedom of speech should protect us from this kind of stuff.  I would understand if they were suing because the person was telling a lie, but it most of the cases they were telling the truth.
