Food Inc

For you who have not yet seen this movie, WATCH IT. It is scary, horrible and unbelievable! I did not realise before watching this movie how bad it really is!

Seeing how food is produced and how it is all controlled by big companies who seem to care less about our planet and animal welfare. Watching this just made me a think. A lot. I want to eat organic!
Unfortunately I know that at this stage (however at some point I will) I can simply not afford to change everything to organic, but I have decided to change a few things. Even if it's not a lot it is still a step in the right direction. Milk and meat are the two main things.
I am still looking more into this, and comparing lots of different organic foods with non-organic ones, to see how much the difference in price actually is.
For an example, 2 litre bottle of organic milk costs $4.10, and the milk I usually buy costs $3.50. So were looking at a difference of $0.60 per bottle! I would usually consume (me and Dave together) 2, maximum 3 bottles per week, so were talking about a difference of less than $2!!

WATCH THIS MOVIE. It will make you be more aware of this, how most food is produced today is a big problem and it will not solve itself! If the demand of organic foods increases than the production will follow.
