All this food talk is making me hungry

Just like the title says, all this food talk is making me hungry; however, after watching food Inc. a while back kind of makes me loose the appetite a bit. For quite some time I’ve been aware that our so called “farms” aren’t what we once imagined it to be but instead something more of a nightmare. Even after knowing the truth I’m still discussed and surprised each time I watch these types of documentaries. It’s quite frustrating because I want to help make a difference in the food company but at the same time that steak on my plate calls my name and I’m pretty sure you know who I will end up choosing. Like most people I know, giving up meat is just too hard of task for me, even if it’s just for a short period of time just to send a message to the meat industry. To go even further, for anyone else who is Catholic we are aware that we aren’t supposed to eat meat on Fridays because of lent but even then it’s quite tempting. If even religion can’t stop me then what can? What can possibly work for me to help make a point and still eat meat? I know that the farmers market and some places can sell you meat is an option but it still seems like quite a hassle to make into a weekly routine. Then again, stepping up to change isn’t an easy task now is it?

  1. Iam Catholic too! hurray! However meat is not the evil we are having to deal with. Its the corparations that Food Inc lists that are the things we need to worry about. I think that we should all buy our food from a farmers market and i know how you think it would be a hassle but in reality it is not that much of one whenever you actually go shopping just shop there for your weekly groceries and they have just about everything you would want and yes it is slightly more expensive than your average shopping at super markets but it is the price we have to pay for good food these days.
