I watched, "You Are What You Eat: The Twin Experiment" on Netflix tonight, and I am thoroughly disturbed by how gross, unjust, and unregulated the meat industry is. It has made me want to be more intentional about my food purchases and food consumption. I also learned so much. The Amazon is being continuously burned down to raise cows to feed beef to Americans. Pig excrement is kept in giant "lagoons" and when they get too full, the pig shit sprays out of sprinklers onto the farm, and onto their neighbors' homes, bodies, and land. Farm-raised fish are swimming in their shit all day, in overcrowded farms. It's so easy to not think about where our food comes from because we just pick it up at the grocery store. Also, it's hard to change our diets because culture is so intertwined into the food we eat. But I want to think about the pig-shit-sprinklers and the Amazon rainforest that's on fire the next time I want to eat pig or cow meat. And I want to find ways to keep culture while also taking care of my body and our planet.
