The Fresh movie

Recently in English we've been studying "Fresh" the movie. At first, I tought it was going to talk about "SUBWAY" or something because they always say "Subway, Eat Fresh" and or that it was going to be either that or something about some cool looking kid who's Fresh. When i saw the movie play out i started to realize that this was not going to be about either of them but about organic food and non organic food and how each of them differ and what are the qualities and drawbacks of each. I know that many people feel that Organic food is good but its too expensive and its not worth it , but one thing that i learned in this movie is that even tough organic food is more expensive it is only because it is grown naturraly and the animals are cared about and not treated like items but treated like actual animals and they are respected the way they should be fed and grown.

In the movie fresh animals that are mass produced by thousands in farms are caged and not allowed to roam free or anithing, they are fed antibiotics in each meal and have been bread to grow fast or lay many eggs to provide for the many people of the earth. But even so the fecals and everything are not recycled like in a family farm where everything animals produce are used as fertilizers for the gardens, but they are trown and so much waste piles up and polutes rivers and environments. Also the animals or eggs are depleted of many of the vitamins they should naturaly have because they are not given what they should properly eat. This also breads diseases because so many of the same thing in one place create so many diseases like mad cow disease or swine flu or bird flu, etc. This is not the way to treat the animals and this is not the food we should eat everiday. Going organic is the best thing we should do since everything is natural and you can guarantee quality and if you know the food you ate is grown by someone who gave the best to the animals to grow them healthy and right then you can eat a meal happy. Organic dosnt just taste amazingly better but is also more healthy and most likely wont cary any diseases.

One thing that i know for sure about organic food is that it is more healthy because it is not grown with animals that have beaks and claws cut off and antibiotics put in they're food and fed theyre own dead bretheren as cheap food. Now ive studidies my share of biology and know that this is not the way animals should be treated or raised and they are not made for places like this. Personally its funny to me how anibody can use animals in such a way and i would even call it mass torture and this should definetly be a violation of animals rights and we should stop this madness and greed for money.

All tof this makes me thin that we should stop being greedy and not just think of ourselves but think of the animals aswell because the way this is going, we are going to be doomed because we are destroying the ground and mutating the animals and depleting eveyrthing of theyre natural quality. The study showed that compared with the 1940's the food that was grown then and grown now , the food now has 40% less vitamins and nutriemts than it had then. That is a severe drop and it might as well be called fake food. We need to do something about it and do it now and go back to the family farmers and grow natural again.
