From Farm to Fridge

           In this blog, I will review and summarize the video Farm to Fridge made by,the  group Mercy for Amimals. Most Americans do not and will not ever know how their food gets to their local supermarket; especially their meat and chicken products.This video shows the inhuman process of  animal  food production in the United States.Although the video's overall  main theme for some viewers maybe biased, due to the producers of this film being pro-veganists, I believe all Americans should watch this video.
              The video begans with the production of poultry products; poultry products are chicken meat and eggs. Chickens are concentrated in the thousands in units known as Cafo's. Cafo's are defined as concentrated animal feeding operations; in which animals  are rasied in units. In these units chickens and chicks do not have access to fresh air and land. When these are killed for meat and egg production, they are killed fully conscious with great pain.Like the chickens, cows are also concentrated in units with no access to clean land and water. Cows and calf's are suffer in unclean conductions with workers constrantly killing and
amputatiing them for space issues and product production;such as meat and milk.
                A lot can be said about the quality of  meat supply when, the meat comes from such unethical treatment.Many people may such accept the slaughterhouses depicted in this video and continue to consume the meat normally and that is perfectly fine. I insist that the meat that comes from the majority of slaughterhouses today is not accpectable.Americans should be more knowable where their food comes from and Farm to Fridge will be a great way to start.
