meatrix and the legit domumentary

for the homework i watched two videos
the first was the meatrix. I found the meatrix down right stupid. the idea was clever but it was as convincing as arnold shwartisneger against steriods. The whole video was blaming the big bad coperations for taking over the family farms, as if they had brainwashed the farmers with the beams. What they dont mention is that these farmers choose to be the meat indusrty we see today to make money. the video had major wholes in the logic The other thing that bothered me was the biased points. It was full of insults about people who eat normal meat. the whole thing was very unofficail and annoying to watch.

The second video i watched was alot better. There were no talking animals and the footage was enough to get my sister to stop eatting meat for at least a day. The video showed the inhumain treatment of the animals such as cutting off the balls of a baby pig while its awake. It was interesting to watch this because some of the practices seemed crewl for no reason. I always knew that they treated animals bad, but i dont understand why they did some of the things they did. I was surprised how little we know about how our food is made. all we see is whats in the plastic.

food i grew up on

growing up my family had rules about eatting. every meal needed at least one glass of milk and dessert was two cookies after dinner. my mom like to cook vegetables and healthy meals. I remember one summer have a month or two of only vegetarian dinners i asked where the meat was. Because of this I grew up watching what i eat. When i go out to eat i try to avoid stuff that is fried or soaked in oil. I also try to eat some of each food group each day. I think this has effected how i live. I think when people eat better they feel better emotionaly and physically. you feel good knowing that you eat well, but in alot of cases this goes to your head. I find that people who eat well tend to look down on those who dont. They assume they are better then everyone else because they eat better. to have food be meaningful you must eat well but at the same time be humble about it.

this holiday is to shut the workers up for the other 364 days

On may day all over the world workers go on parade and yell about workers rights. They are given this day so they can remember the people who actually did something. but this day is like giving a baby a lollipop so they can make them behave. While all the working class are yelling and protesting, the fat cats just deal with it for one day then send them all back to work. By giving them this one day the workers feel like they have used their power when really they are just screaming to deaf ears. This day isnt meaningful because while it does remember the people who were killed, nothing gets done and nothing is acomplished.
