Factory Farm Foods
Over the weekend Lauren and I finally checked out Food, Inc. It has been setting in our Netflix queue for a while. It is a documentary about the dangers of our nation’s growing food industry and the health risks associated with it. The film focuses on the contrasts between two types of farms our food comes from today. Factory farms that mass produce most of our meats and dairy products using “food science technology” like growth hormones. Traditional “organic” farms raising animals in their natural environments without additional stimulants and additives. Food, Inc. goes beyond the obvious nutritional differences of these two methods while also highlighting the political, financial and ethical issues involved.
