Food Inc.

Watched this movie tonight, Food Inc, and was very turned off about how a few LARGE corporations control what we eat. There is so much “crap” that is put into our foods, it is absolutely ridiculous. The treatment of animals, to make them bigger, fatter, faster, for us to consume, and therefore generate MORE money for these large food corporations is insane. Makes me not want to eat any meat at all anymore. Grace and I have started buying our meats from a store called Fresh From the Farm, which is located at Donland’s and O’Connor. Their meat comes from mennonite farms, not from large corporate slaughterhouses. The cost is not that much more than what you get from big grocery stores such as Loblaws, Metro, Sobey’s, but much more worth it.  The animals are not locked up, are free to roam, are fed grass in the summer, and are not injected with growth hormones.  You can never be too safe with what you eat. Read your labels, make sure you wash your hands, and try to buy local when you can.

    I can’t go vegetarian, but I do want to eat less meat, and eat a better quality of meat. You guys should check out: http://freshfromthefarm.ca/
