King Corn!

Days 129 & 130

See King Corn!




King Corn and Food, Inc. appeal to me more than Earthlings or Meet Your Meat because the former two films talk about how all our food is affected and the latter two films only focus on the meat and dairy groups of food.

I’d like to think I do this blog to help inform all people about all their eating habits, meatless or not. Giving up meat is, I believe, a positive step towards healthier eating but not a cure-all. One must look closely at what else they are consuming. High fructose corn syrup is not something one should put in their body on a daily or even weekly basis.

Also, don’t forget the current blog poll, “Are zoos as a whole good or bad for animals?”, is only up for four more days. Look for it on the right side of this page and please vote if you have not already done so.

Talk to you soon!

Thoughts on the Earthlings film

Days 127 & 128

I finally saw Earthlings a few weeks ago. It played like an expanded version of Meet Your Meat but it also focused on the other ways we misuse animals such as for research, clothing and entertainment.



I agree that animals shouldn’t be the victim of cruel experiments, abused by animal trainers or used as wallets; however, I am not in alignment with Earthling’s views on zoos.

Earthlings took the point of view that zoos in general are cruel to animals. I don’t think all zoos are cruel. Sure, some confine the animals in too small of a space but aren’t there better zoos out there with bigger spaces for the animals to roam as well?

I personally like zoos. I think they teach us to respect the animal kingdom and help protect endangered species against poachers and predators.

What do you all think? Vote in the latest blog poll on the sidebar to the left! “Are zoos as a whole good or bad for animals?”
