It certainly just a short excerpt - what is the source? It seems rather interesting.

Somehow we know this stuff is happening but we tend to forget for the sake of consuming what we want, when we want it and preferrably for cheap, too.
At least WE know, right? Remember this when you go shopping, and, like me, go for the cheaper "machined meat" from the bio-industry instead of the biological (and over all more logical) stuff. RRRRRRRealize.

The saddest part is not what we consume, but the things we don't and trow away.
I bet a very large percentage ends up in our garbage cans.
#6 I'm trying to buy the organic stuff, but many times they only call it organic to ask higher price for it. It's a jungle out there, and humanity is less and less humane. :(

Well... yes, but at the end of the day you have to ask yourself, Do you want to eat or not?
Also I don't approve of eating like a damn hippo, like the 3 blobs at the end are doing!...
I gained some extra Kg for eating to much pizza and drinking soda, but I exercise 4 days a week and run whenever I can. I'll never eat that much junk...
Live healthy and don't be a fu**ing glutton!

Well... this is a manipulative clip.
Lot of hungry people, you have to feed them. Fat peaople eating fastfood? So what, slim people do too.
Buyin lots of beer? Good host buys beer for his guests! So would you too.
Btw, people sell, people buy. This is economy.
Don't like it? Go and do something about it!

Imagine there are a lot of those factories, doing the same with supermarket meat. in almost every country.


But there is still hope, at least there are people who can use the food we throw away because it does not look perfect, and spotless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4fu8a9JBvI

There is a thesis (not sure if it's true) that there is that much CO2 coming out of Meat Production, that if only America consisted out of vegetarians, we would have no climate change.

Same show had another interesting fact. Modern eggs have an egg yolk of an rich orange color, but free living chicken (as in 10-12 per farm, not 100-120k) have a eggyolk that is of a very light yellow color.

#18 :
A lot of hungry people won't ever see the color of that meat.
The problem is not that we eat a lot, the problem is that we produce twice as much as we need and we end up throwing away a lot of it. Maybe we could produce less and/or share more with the ones who really need it.

Does anybody have the source of this? There seems to be at least a bit missing at the end.

legally speaking, birds are usually asphyxiated, whilst pigs electrocuted, then sent out to being processed. cows loose their head, but only after sedation, using drugs. movie itself makes you feel like Predator, in a way.

Source is a documentary named SAMSARA.
You should also watch BARAKA from the same people.

@9 yes your right. it is not what we use but what we trow away. entire crops. loads and loads of food goes to wate.millions of animals slaughtert, just because it does not have the standart requirements we demand from food. it is shamefull. think of this at a industrial scale. this kind of consumption will come back later and bites us in the A.
