Have you ever seen the documentary entitled Fresh? This documentary is trying to serve two purposes; to inform people about the food industry, and advocating for a better alternative. This film informs people about several methods that industrial farms practice in to produce more food, for instance, farmers were feeding cow meat to the other cows. This would cause cows to grow much faster than feeding them the traditional food they eat. It also informed people about all of the drugs that are given to the animals and the mass production of these animals. Intensive animal farming causes problems because it creates a living environment where diseases and infections flourish. The farm lands where the crops are being farmed are sprayed with so many things to kill several insects, and it being way to new bugs and new problems. The solution that was proposed instead of industrial farming is organic farming. Organic farming uses the ecosystem to function and produced fresh foods that are more beneficial to the consumers.
The thing that stuck out to me was when I found out that they were feeding cow meat to cows. This was astonishing to me because cows are herbivores, which means that they don’t consume any meats. Feeding them meat has shown to have several effects on them causing health problems. Even though they are side affects farmers still don’t care because since they are able to produce bigger cows.
