After watching the documentary called Fresh released in 2009 it has changed my mind on what I put in my body. In the documentary a couple of farmers are interviewed about how they grow crops and feed their livestock. The documentary goes a lot into depth about how each farm is different and how each farmer sees the industry. Some farmers will talk about how they give their chickens the cheapest food and they don’t even know what their chickens are eating then the chickens will be given to people to eat. Other farmers keep their chickens in a free range not a lot in one small room and they can list the things that are being fed to the chickens. Obviously, with that being said when people buy these chickens the price will be highly different from one another. This document was an eye-opener because it explained so much about what goes beyond just a hen laying eggs and planting a couple of crops. I now think twice before picking up fast food and now make it at home. Even though I make my food at home I still think about how well the animal that I am about to eat is good or if the farmer even took care of the chicken. It really makes me wonder and scared because I am also giving that to my child. I hope that in the future farms around the world start to think about how they raise their livestock and what they are spraying their plants to protect from pesticides. I think this would be better for everyone and most importantly for the kids because if out food is being grown bad how will that affect our bodies.
Hi Hannah!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you put your analysis together on the film fresh. You gave good background information and explained in detail what the film is all about. I agree with you, I think twice before picking up fast food and I really like how you included the part about what goes on beyond hen just laying eggs. I like how you were able to relate this back to your own child, and I hope everyone that watches the film will take their eating habits into consideration.
