Like much of the films produced by Michael Moore and others of his ilk, this reeks of an agenda that I find distasteful. Sort of like the PETA folks that want to save all the pretty animals, but have no qualms about squishing spiders. fucking hypocrites. Those of you who say you’ll eat fish but not beef, well don’t eat the fish out of any US rivers, as any river with any sort of industry on its shores, the fish that live there will be laden with mercury, PCBs, agricultural runoff and more chemicals than you can shake a cow’s jawbone at.
These films take the worst perpretrators of commercial agricultural abuses and get people to believe that ALL agricultural businesses operate in such a heinous manner. Ever been on a farm? Ever seen a REAL Midwestern farm where the animals are actually cared for? The place I buy my meat treats their animals with respect, right up to the moment that they kill them to harvest their meat.
Not all meat producers are soulless greedy corporate monsters. Buyer beware.
Edit, I watched the trailer. I love how so much of it was taken out of context. The farmer that says “Smells like money” that is a common refrain among hog farmers, and concerns the atrocious smell of hog poop.
This is more bullshit from the people that don’t care about farmers because they buy their corn in a can at the supermarket. :::eye roll:::
