This movie is about farmers who have stuck to their roots and have chosen to keep their farms and animals natural. Most farmers are being industrialized and moving into being factory farms. They do this by taking the animals from their natural habitat and confine them in cages where the hardly have any room to move. Pigs in factory farms will never walk or run, they will lay in a cage a few feet from another pig and continue to give birth until the farmer wants to dispose of them. They feed these animals corn to fatten them up, instead of grass like they should be eating. However this creates many problems for the animals. Cows have a small amount of E. coli in them, so the food and circumstances they live in makes this E. coli triple. So they feed them, and every other animal being genetically modified, antibiotics to take the E. coli levels down.
This is such an important film. I personally believe that students should be taught about GMO'S, different ways of farming, and how that farming affects what you're eating. It's so easy not to think about where your food came or the steps it took to get there. But wouldn't you rather know what exactly you're putting into your body? Wouldn't you like to know that you get sick every time you eat a certain food you get sick it's because it's been morphed by a scientist? This film differs from other movies. Unlike other movies it isn't trying to push you into following their choices. They show you whats wrong with how farming has been going recently and what choices you have. It was well put together and very informative. I suggest anyone who wants to learn about what they're consuming to watch this movie.
