Food Inc.

In ethics today, we talked about a film titled Food Inc. The film talks about the wrongdoings of the food industry and how it can be detrimental to humans. A case that was shown in the film explained how a simple hamburger killed a 2 year old child. This film is trying to highlight just that in regard to wrongdoing. This film is trying to show light to the negativity the food industry holds. The tagline for the film is "You'll never look at dinner in the same way." This tagline is perfect as many of us who watched the film were disgusted. The way they treated the animals and what they do just to simply have a chicken finger at dinner is disgusting. We have a couple vegetarians and they expressed how videos like this inclined them to go vegetarian.

In regard to ethics, we had to discover and question if the way the meat companies are treating the animals is ethical. To me, it is very unethical to treat animals just for the sake of eating meat that probably isn't safe anyway. We discussed in class alternatives to produce meat that would ultimately help us out and diminish this problem. Overall, I have enjoyed this class and what it offers.
