Response to "Industrial Food"

After looking over some of the suggested websites reviewing Industrialized food and its cost, it helped me to better understand how everything we eat and/or purchase having to do with food is only apart of a huge chain of costs that we as americans suffer through once again just by being citizens of this great country. before, when i would go food-shopping with my mother i would look at the price of the fresh meat and see that each was different only by a couple of cents. i thought that was only because of weight of the animal, not because of its shipping, its packaging, its corporation costs etc.

I watched the "animal cruelty" video and watched some of the actions that the workers do to the chickens, turkeys, hens, cows, and pigs. I always knew that they suffered and were killed for our own eating habits but i didnt reallythink of the other debatable things that they do, such as skinning them alive, or branding them w/o painkillers, or stuffing them into enclosed boxes and etc. The way they treat them is just plain wrong i thought, and all i could think about during, besides the killing, was how can those workers do they're job for 8 hours a day 7 days a week without being bothered by the squeling and fighting of the dying animals.
