#4 What We Eat

I have never really thought about where our food comes from. Or even how the animals get treated. Are they healthy? Are they nutritioned right? What's going on? Well i recently discovered that the majority of our chicken, pork, and beef come from animals within factory farms. While in these factory farms the animals are getting mistreated. They are being put in cages and enclosures that are far too small for the amount of animals that they force and shove in there. Once I came accross the pictures of the animals on factory farms I was absolutely disgusted with what they were doing and the fact that the government allowed it to happen. and I dont like the thought of our food that we are consuming being engineered. Especially since the animals are not getting nutritioned right, as well as mistreated. If the fact that the animals are being mistreated and malnutritioned than maybe the fact that their mistreatment can affect us and our health. Because of the things that are happening on factory farms humans are getting sick because they consumed the meat. They are ending up with Swine Flu, Mad Cow Disease, Foot and Mouth Disease, as well as Avian Influenza. In cases humans even died from receiving an illness because of the animal products consumed. America NEEDS to care about what the government is doing behind closed doors, and as Americans we need to take action.
