Animal Farm

I just watched Food Inc.  What a scary movie.  We all knew that CAFO's were out there, but the devil is in the details.  No wonder there are so many vegetarians.  I should be getting a discount from my health care plan, as one of the few who doesn't have a diabetes prone diet.

Vegetables aren't safe either, because the animal farms produce mass manure runoff.  It seems like everything about the food industry is wrong.  Quality is often not a factor, and large amounts of water, fuel, antibiotics, pesticides, and fertilizer are used.

Family farms are good.  Grass fed beef.  Vegetables.  Local food.  Seasonal food.  Farmer's markets.

Fast food is bad.  Restaurant food.   Processed food.  Supermarket food.   Meat.

Ever since the black death, each generation has been taller, healthier, and has lived longer lifespans.  Modern food and sedentary lifestyles have reversed this trend.   Childhood obesity and diabetes are leading the current generation to be less healthy than their parents, and prone to die young.

Now if everyone bought foods with one ingredient and had a cow and chickens in their yard...
