WOW! "Their bones and their organs can't keep up with the rapid growth"13:18

This is so sad to see these chickens are just seen as food and live under horrible conditions. These videos make me want to become Vegan as I am an animal lover, and it breaks my heart that I am part of the problem. These companies do not care about these chickens as it's all about the money they can make. There has to be something we can all do to help more sustainable and humane methods of food production.

WOW! " if you save your own seed, you're gonna get a call from somebody from Monsanto." 1:08:47

During this part of the video, I could tell how frustrated this farmer was, which is sad. They have no freedom to do anything as these companies have massive power over them, and even saving a seed could cost them everything. These companies should give the farmers the freedom to take care of their crops as they will still benefit from it, and maybe the farmers would not feel like servants to these companies.

"The food does not become radioactive. " Pg. 311

This line about Irradiation was ironic as it's obvious the food doesn't become radioactive. I don't know if I can agree with this method because the fact that food is exposed to radiation sounds like it would harm our health. Still, I understand some guidelines and regulations are followed to be considered safe for human consumption, which means it's all about a personal opinion when choosing foods.
