The other day while I was eating my peanut butter and jelly sandwich on my way to class, I remembered that we were going to watch a movie. I got excited because watching movies in college is a priviledge. The movie we got to watch was called Fresh. This might sound cliche but this movie was eye opening, It was sad how so called farmers would treat their animals and how much pesticide was sprayed on to the crops, made me feel guilty of eating that peanut butter and jelly sandwich before class. Something that was really shocking was that free-range farming was much cheaper than the factory farms and at the same time free range farming got a greater profit. At first I thought it seemed odd because factory farms are ment to produce livestock at a faster rate than free-range while using less resource. The movie made me realize how much money factory farm spent on vetenarians, medicines, and the cost of food to keep there animals healthy.This movie does matter, it make you rethink what food choices you make. It also makes you not want t to support the inhumane animal treatment. Movies like this puzzles people's mind towards food choices but its the right thing to do. After class was over I chose to not eat out, I decided to go home and make myself something to eat at home. Sadly, even the food we buy from the store are grown terribly, but luckly my parents buy nothing but organic food. I highly recommend this movie. Your way of thinking towards farming will never be the same.
