ignorance is bliss to most omnis?!

Food Inc. is an excellent documentary. No slaughterhouses or biased messages. Just facts. If it were on the Discovery channel most people would watch it & like it & at least think about where their food comes from. Not just the meat is discussed either; veggies, soy, water, everything is discussed. I find it hilarious many came on here & immediately bashed it. I guess they just don't like knowledge. I for one will watch any documentary, and then make an informed decision whether I even agree with this documentary or not. Then do my own research, check facts, etc...

$50 says even the intelligent people that bashed this question didn't watch it. I can tell they are intelligent by their writing, but too stupid to have an open mind about a simple documentary.

Funny thing because when I tell vegetarians, the ones who always brag about their "cruelty free food" about the plight of crop farm workers, none of them want to.

Dear, billions of people eat meat. Millions of people are involved directly in the meat industry. More millions do the killing and butchering themselves from their own backyard farms or from hunting. They are not ignorant nor do they need a video to tell them what they live through everyday. If you and your friends are/were ignorant of how meat is obtained, to not be so presumptuous as to think ALL people who eat meat are as ignorant as you and your friends are/were. After all, you would not ant me to assume that because an anorexic is vegetarian, ALL vegetarians are anorexic, do you?


By the way, what IS your intention when you ask people to watch a video like food inc? A video that is a "documentary" only because it supposedly uses actual footage but whose content is heavily edited to fit a certain agenda by certain groups? Food Inc is no more an honest documentary than Finding Nemo is a truthful depiction of the natural lives of clown fish and sharks.

I am vegetarian and I refuse to watch those videos.
I don't support propoganda. Many of those are not accurate and designed for shock value, not legitimacy.

I am pretty sure everyone who eats meat knows exactly where the meat comes from. It is fairly well known how an animal is killed during the process as well.

Add-
they are not documentaries, they are one sided, with an agenda (to deter people from eating meat). They make no attempt at being unbiased or showing any other side of the issue.

Curious, are they like that with other topics? As in, do they tend to watch other documentaries that you suggest?

For example, on war crimes, or sweatshops, or oil, or homelessness, or drug addiction? Or do they also refuse because they don't want to know?

My guess is that they DO assume that "Food, Inc" is vegetarian propaganda.

What other documentaries have you recommended that they watch?



Mike, let me know when you have my $50 ready so I can tell you where to send it. Cashier's check only please, thanks!

The people you are referring to simply want to ignore the issue because it threatens their way of life. All meat-eaters are either uninformed, selfish or a combination of both. No one is to blame, it's the way we are brought up in a world that supports murder for the sake of gluttony (poor nations excluded).

I'm not a fan of fabrication but it's certainly a lesser evil compared with the greatest level of mass-murder in the history of the world.

you dont have to be vegan to know that all processed food is crap, but free range meat is really healthy you can even ask a nutritionist if you want, while most vegans need B12 supplements to survive

Maybe they'd rather not waste their time watching mockumentaries full of half-truths and exaggerations.

most meat eaters I personally know said they were very affected by watching Meet Your Meat and those videos.

You're free to be a vegetarian if you want, but you shouldn't try converting other people.
