Ever since I watched the flash video from the site the Meatrix (which is terribly funny I might add), I have been rather against the whole factory farm issue. Have any of you ever wondered where our meat for sausages, burgers and all other fast food outlets come from? I haven’t either, till I saw the video. Its rather disgusting to see the way food companies grow what we call poultry. I even wonder if the meat that we take in is even safe? What is the likelihood of use getting a terrible disease because of the way the farm animals are breed.
You can find out more about sustainable eating her, at Sustainable Table. It is also tied up together with the green site, Gracelinks. Which in a nutshell
“GRACE promotes community based solutions for the production and consumption of food and energy. Working with research, policy, consumer and grassroots communities, GRACE raises public awareness and advances innovative solutions to create an economically and environmentally viable future, and eliminate practices that are harmful to the environment and public health.”My problem with this is how are we to know whether our meat is from the organic and traditional farms instead of the factory farms. I thought it would’ve been easy to figure out, because of labels. Sad to say we DON’T have that here when we go to the meat section in the supermarket. Or at least I haven’t seen it yet. Enlighten me anyone if you have seen and if you think there is a good way of maybe differentiating how our meat is produced. Having said that, to get attention, I thought this was a great way for one activist to shout out a point. Yeap saw it in the papers, a bit gory but the message gets out there.
