When you buy something, you are giving your money and support to that product and how it is made. For example, if you buy a burger from McDonalds, you are supporting the abuse of the cow that you are eating for your beef patty, the transportation, the corn industry with abused workers and farmers, the pesticides that then run into our waterways. This is what they use your dollar for. Plus, the workers at McDonalds are underpaid so you can have a burger for cheap a minute after you order it. The burger isn’t just there right away, you have to think about the process that got it there and if you support that too. There are people that can’t afford more, so we have to understand that, but also, everyone deserves better. So next time you want a burger, maybe go to the store and buy ground pork and fresh, local, organic lettuce and tomatoes and go home and enjoy it with your family. Thank the farmers that are providing your dinner and the animals that died so you can eat. (Ella on a rant)

Selective fishing is to only harvest the targeted species and release any other fish accidentally caught. The fish don't suffer and are individually handled. Each fish is a physical and genetic reflection of the habitat that it's evolved in. "we are all doing our part to raise the value and spiritual value of the fish. we all have a responsibility to leave this land better than we found it." (Unbroken Ground)

Organic farming is proved to use 45% less energy, to release 40% less carbon emissions, and to create 30% more biodiversity compared to conventional farming. They said that, the “one clear way to lower the environmental impact of your food” without being more expensive is to reduce the amount of meat in your wallet. (Climate.Columbia.edu)

Monsanto is a major seed company that owns all of the seeds that they've selectively bred to survive unnatural fertilizers and faster growth rates. It is illegal to save any seeds from the year's harvest, and if you do they can sue you. Even if they are spread to any other farmers plot accidentally, they can be sued as well. Small farmers don't have the money to fight this. It is against the law to criticize the products. The food industry and companies like Monsanto have more protections than other industries. The majority of soybean seeds are owned by Monsanto and soon it will be very difficult to find natural, non GMO seeds. "business is the source of basically all the things that are destroying this world."

The Condition of Mexican Workers vs the Farming Industry

The Condition of Mexican Workers vs the Farming Industry

# data[].attributes.body
With the way that the corn industry has transformed over the past years, it has put 1,500,000 Mexican farmers out of work. So then, we advertised to bring them here for their jobs back, ignoring the fact of their lack of safety and the poverty we would be putting them in. The government then blames the workers for coming illegally, not the hiring companies, and gets rid of 15 immigrants a day to not affect the production line.

Growing and eating animals that are native to the land is a much more sustainable practice. Places that buffalos, for example, can live naturally off the land without needing artificial and industry run/ produced animal foods like corn products. These animals can live a natural healthy life before being harvested. The farmers have a more spiritual and cultural connection to the animals and value them for everything they are giving to us. Nature needs diversity and having animals which are native to the land prevents that centralization that society is bringing to agriculture. This natural farming is also healthier for the farmer, soil, and community. "Agricultural revolution is not going to come through technology." (Unbroken Ground)

Many workers get infections in the assembly line with the hogs because of the faster, fatter, bigger, cheaper factory mindset brought into the meat industry. The shift in this industry caused working in the meat industry in the 1950s being the best job to now in this day in age it being one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. It is considered unsanitary if the animals touch the open air.

When it comes down to it, would you buy medicine to stay alive or buy healthier food when they both are expensive? We are wired to like tastes that are salt, fat, and sugar more than rich and nutritious food. This is the main factor of type two diabetes. With the medicine costing a lot to keep you alive, you don't have extra money to spend on healthy food, so you go back to cheap fast foods with the salt and fat and it sends you into an endless cycle. Type two diabetes has become an epidemic. (Food Inc)

They started growing chickens that never see sunlight and live in crowded areas that don't have any room to do anything. With no space, when one chicken gets sick, all get sick. And it is easy to get sick because they have no space to be healthy. The chickens are set up like an assembly line. All the birds have the be the same size so they are all desirable. There are only thirteen slaughterhouses in the USA. If something is wrong with one animal, everything can go downhill from there. (Food Inc)

The farmer that allowed them in her barn had breached contract by refusing to switch to a barn without windows. The chickens living in Tyson's factory farms have no room, no sunlight, and are selectively bred to the point that their organs and bones can no longer support their bodies. These chickens can maybe take a few steps before collapsing. They pass diseases easily and are still used for meat, as long as their alive.

When Oprah spoke against the beef market on her show, she was sued. She finally won after spending 1 million on the lawsuit. Small farmers don't have these funds to defend themselves, and it makes it very difficult for anyone to speak out against this type of food processing. (Food Inc)

In McDonald's kitchens, they have one person only flipping burgers, one person only adding toppings to the burgers, one person packaging, etc. They have everyone only be trained to be really good at their one job, so the assembly and process of making a burger is so quick. They can charge cheap for a burger because they get really bad products and it is so quick to make, that they don't have to pay their employees much either. McDonald's is the largest purchaser of pork, beef, potatoes, tomatoes and lettuce in the world. (Food Inc)

Many cooperation's talked about in the Food Inc film, denied to comment. They went through dozens of farms before finding one that would allow them inside the barn. They talked to one farmer who wanted to show them, but Tyson, a major meat company who "owned" this farm, came to talk to him, and he could no longer allow them inside.  Eventually, they talked to a woman who broke her contract with Tyson and was no longer under their control.

Since we have the ability to ship food wherever farmers grow the same crop all year, and to preserve it for being shipped across the country, they add pesticides. This leads to non-organic foods in the grocery store all year long and the food is worse for you with the pesticides. They turn the farming practice into a factory-type business plan, trying to get more for their money and have their products more desirable to us because they are cheaper. This leads us to be feeding poison to our bodies. (Food Inc)
