Blog Entry #7: Fresh

Whats happens usually after watching a documentary about food, i get the sudden craving for something delicious, but after watching the movie Fresh, I really wanted no part of food for about a couple of hours. The movie actually left me speechless and disgusted after watching how most fast food companies make their food and how poorly they treat their animals.

Before watching this movie, i have not thought about the potential dangers that could be in my food, all i did was order and i would automatically assume that my food would be good to eat, now i'm not so sure. Now, i do think about my food, but i'm not looking at it to see if it's good, by good i don't mean healthy, but if it's good, now i don't eat at McDonalds anymore, i know how they make their food, and it's not the best thing to be reading while eating a burrito.

By making this movie, the director wanted to focus it on the audience with families, the young adults and teens. They wanted to give them an idea of how their "Good food" is actually made and how they make them good.

The film had it's moments in which what it said stood out as an alarm going on in my head saying to watch out for it. For example, the movie said that sometimes the meat that fast food companies use, can have traces of Salmonella or can be infected with mad cow disease. All these things make me a picky eater now.

I think this movie should be seen by everyone, at least once in their life, especially in America, where obesity runs everywhere.

The fact of the matter deciding whether we should care or not should be opinionated,  some people just don't care that their food could potentially be dangerous and kill them, others do care and avoid this fast food frenzy. I'm not saying that we should give up, i'm saying that if those that are still going to try and eat this greasy, artery-clogging food, then they should at least watch how much they consume it weekly.
