A comedy that examines the health risks involved in the fast food industry and its environmental and social consequences as well.
I recommend the book over the movie, since the movie is not a documentary.
Mmmmmm...
Upvote for a good cause, in spite of PETA propaganda and their mindless zombies. Carnivores, you morons. Charles Darwin hates you.
The not so subtle grossouts, and the appeal to our emotions with the doe eyed calf / squashed bunny make me want to poke the eyes out of a baby seal just to spite the holier than thou PETA freak who thinks this kind of crap is acceptable. Must be readin from the same PR book as Ann Coulter.
The fact is that the "productization" of meat into little plastic shrink wrap packs has led to a complete emotional disconnect as to what meat really is.
We eat the blood infused muscle tissue of other mammals.
You are absolutely correct, dag--people don't seem to realize what we are doing. I think that if you eat meat, you should hunt, at least once. Perhaps we can evolve ourselves to be vegetarians in the long run, but for now, it seems prudent to accept our nature as omnivores, at least from an evolutionary perspective.
Regardless of all that, fast food is disgusting. Upvote for truth
The fact is, humans can survive quite well on a vegetarian diet, and millions do.
This video did not come off as 'don't eat meat,' it was a review of a specific industry, that of fast food. The solution is actually quite simple: eat better than McDonalds.
Do you think hotdogs are *easy* for your body to process? Do you think McBurgers are better, with seaweed, preservatives, who-knows-what-else... Do you think TacoHell is using quality meat products? Don't you think it is parts of an animal you would ever eat.. all ground up.
I think that is the point, not "don't eat meat"... And of you want to talk about our evolutionary history, it isn't meat as much as bone marrow, that got up the big brains we currently have. So, when was the last time you ate bone marrow?
If all the vegetarians and vegans like it, and all the hamburger swilling fat kids and soccer moms don't care or hate it, It is a pointless waste of time. I think the goal is to change the food industry and the health of the nation, not make a trailer that appeals to the audience who already has the message.
It's a nice choice that people in the 1st world can make and make noise about... it disgusts me that this is an issue when there are people who can't get anything to eat. So sock it to both camps.
And I'm sure just about ANY third world country (say like N. Korea) would LOVE to have the ability to complain about this shit.
Amazing - we live in a "free" country - if you don't like eating it - then DON'T. I'm tired of the "whining about corporate greed" groups that are "trying to make a difference". What difference are they making when you find out the groups usually doing the whining are just trying to get you to purchase their 'healthier' products? My guess is that veggie growers want us all to become vegetarians while they continue to gene splice, over fertilize, over pesticize, wax, and artificially color fruits and vegetables to make them more appealing to the mass public? Which btw are picked by immigrant growers who are payed below minimum wage in slave-like coniditions - then usually deported back to Mexico. Who in the end is the bigger con?
In the end you'll find that if their is a coroporation in business - its only watching out for #1 - themselves. They are in it to make money PERIOD. It is up to you as a consumer and a voter to make the changes happen.
Then again I'm down to sifting once a week it seems - why must Real Life impose itself on me so!

Also, I find it backwards to mostly buy and consume the muscle mass when most of the nutrient is in the organs.
What about the fact that in the very first scene the dork is playing with his iPod? Is *everything* anymore about making more money for Apple? That's what bothers ME about it!

edit: i should add that i rarely eat "fast food" (i.e: almost never) but i eat meat at home and out alot.
Provide numbered figures, documents, facts, reports, pictures etc etc and I'll consider this.
Taking a handful of info and making a generalized image of something is called stereotyping.
Plus, this video was more to do with 'anti-corporation' or 'anti-big business' image than the actual food.
It's convincing, but I don't believe it till I see some legit references.
