Watching Food, Inc was... disturbing to me. I've heard some of this information before, and I've known to some extent some of what happens, but seeing it with my own eyes was both enlightening and disturbing. Being a mother of two young boys myself, the mother's story about her young son was heart-wrenching for me. It's every parent's fear, and to think that it happened just from feeding her child was even worse. Seeing how the animals were treated was difficult as well, and also how the meat is treated and processed after the fact.
After watching the movie, I plan to make a more conscious effort to not only know what I'm feeding myself and my family, but to also try and make more organic choices. My greatest obstacle will be cost. While I know that it'll even out in the long run with healthier bodies and minds, being a single mother, the cost of food is something that is a very large struggle. I hope to be able to find ways to balance it all out.
