Happy cows come from....





Would you rather eat these cattle?












Or these?












Thanks to my English 333 class, we are watching the movie "Food Inc." and I may have made a life changing decision. I already have a cousin that has made this decision and at first I thought that it was just a phase but now, i see that she made a well informed decision. Did you know that 95 percent of feedlot cattle in the U. S still receive some form of growth-promoting hormone in their feed? Why would i want to be eating beef that has hormones, antibacterial chemicals and all other kinds of drugs in it? Some cattle are kept in areas where they stand (if they can) in poop and mud all day and because they are soaked in it, when they are killed there is a 85 percent chance that your meat has some reminents of poop on it. POOP ON MY MEAT?! I am not even going to mention what they do to these poor animals on top of all the poor food, drugs and lack of care that they receive. So, after watching two hours of screaming pigs, over-pumped chickens and deformed cows i have decided to make an effort to choose the meat i eat, and i choose: Range-free, poop free, drug free meat.

  2. I am gonna have to start doing more research but, basically look for organic and research how major meat manufacturing businesses slaughter their animals.
