When we were first assigned to read Fast Food Nations, I was
a little interested in its topics, but also thought the book would be very boring.
As I started to read the book I became more and more interested in it. Some of
the topics were a little graphic and I tried not to read the book before
dinner. I had no idea how disgusting some of the procedure was in processing
the meat. I also had no idea of what the animals we are eating =were being fed
themselves. I have not eaten fast food in a long time because of the fat
content, but now I have a whole knew outlook as to why I won’t eat it. I
learned though that even the meat we purchase in the regular grocery stores
aren’t much better then fast food meat. My brother has a farm in Arizona and
has offered in the past to house a cow for my family if we want him too. After
reading this book I think I will take him up on his offer. We will be buying a
cow soon, to raise and butcher it, knowing that it hasn’t been fed anything
crazy like the cows in the slaughter houses have been fed.
i also thought it was going to be boring but then i got into it.
ReplyDeleteI do not read the book before meals either. The book has really affected each one of us.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good that your actually going to taake what you learned from the book and apply it to your life. Its lucky your brother has a farm. Good luck with raising your own cow and treating it well.
ReplyDeleteThe book was really an eye opener for me too
ReplyDeleteinteresting how the food we buy at the store is almost like the fast food me buy at a fast food restaurant.
ReplyDeleteThis book really made me aware of what I am purchasing for such low prices. No more fast food for me!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool that you're going to grow your own cow. Then you'll know for sure that it's not contaminated like the ones at slaughterhouses.
ReplyDeleteI am also going to apply it to my daily life and eat less meat.
ReplyDeleteWeak stomachs are nothing to mess with that's for sure. Good thing you read it far away from dinner time! :) An entire cow to slaughter, wow you’re going to live like a queen for months, and I’m game for the bar-b-que soon too! Here's to eating clean meat.
ReplyDeleteI think it is cool that your brother has a farm.
ReplyDeletei agree with you we never know what tey are actually trying to sell us at fast food places or grocery stores.
