The November 2010 diary... enjoy.

November 1st, 2010
What a day, what a day...

In heath, I watched THE most disturbing thing I have EVER seen. Things died right before my eyes, and they weren't bugs.

The movie was called Food, Inc. (rated PG13) and it was about, well, food. It was telling us the source of our food (the animals) and why we had it so quickly.

Ever heard of feeding cows (which traditionally eat grass) genetically modified (GMO) corn? No? Well, apparently, it speeds up growth. But then farmers have to reach inside and PULL IT OUT. It was gross.

You can also patent seeds. That annoyed the H-E-double-hockey-stick out of me. Who ever said you could own the beginning of life? (Answer: America did.)

The whole point of all of this is to get food to us cheap and easily, like we asked for. But this food, this horrible, horrible food, makes us sick. (ex. E. coli can kill you in 12 days. Maybe less.) Bad sick.

If we were willing to pay just a LITTLE bit more, don't you think this could end?
