Food Inc
I will admit that I did not want to watch the Movie Food Inc. because I did not want to see how our foods were being prepared and how animals were being treated.
It was not as bad as I expected and just helped me to realize what I already know about chemicals, pesticides and preservatives being in our foods.
I did not like seeing the unsanitary conditions and the way that the animals were overfed and mistreated.
It just fuels my desire to want to eat healthy and more organic foods.
It all goes back to Greed in Corporate America and wanting people to stay Unhealthy and Overweight which leads to diseases and death.
