[...] Edit: Go Passport just left the link to a documentary called Food Inc. I think this should be required watching for every person living in Western society. The full movie can be found here: Food Inc [...]

@ Ashley

Well said! At least up to the part about going vegan… love my bacon and chicken parmesan too much. ;-)

To support your statement, I read somewhere that it takes 4 pounds of grain/corn to produce 1 pound protein. Not sure how much water that it takes, but it has to be a pretty high amount once you begin computing the metrics.

Not to mention, how many pounds of antibiotics that it takes to accelerate the animal weight gain process. Pretty sad state of affairs when we’ve bred animals to produce so much biomass they can’t even reproduce by themselves.

Sooo happy you posted this! I’ve made a decision to become vegetarian (slowly going vegan) for this reason. Also, we could end world hunger with the grain used to feed mass produced livestock. People need to realize the power their buying dollar holds and take it more seriously. If everyone stopped eating at Mickey D’s and got more concerned about where their food was coming from restaurants would be forced to change their standards.

No problem JKB. I’ve been looking forward to is as well.

Freaky thing is I’ve toured one of the factories in this film, and surprised they were able to compile the footage they shot.

I sent an email to the makers of Food, Inc. nearly two weeks ago asking if using their video would qualify for a breech of intellectual property or copyright nearly two weeks ago. No reply.

Plus, the video has already been uploaded to YouTube on October 31st by multiple users. I just chose this one because it wasn’t broken into 10 or 12 parts like the YouTube uploads.

I know lots of people who didn’t see it in the theater, so I can’t think of a better way to continue to get the word out.

Actually, I had a quick question… is this a legit release or pirated? I know megadownloader isn’t always… not sure abt megavideo haha
I don’t think it’ll stop me from watching… but just slightly curious =)
