The film Fresh is about our food, the food system, how it has changed over the years, and how it is harming ourselves and the planet; it also addresses why we need to make a change and how. It gives viewers an inside look at both the organic farms and farmers as well as the industrialized farms and "farmers". It tells you the ugly truth about what is really going on in the factory farms. Not only are the animals in factory farms being put in inhumane conditions they are givin chemicals and hormones. We are also shown how many chemicals go into the vegetation in the industrialized settings. Industrial farming is also harming earth due to all the water and air pollution it causes. Industrialized farming was meant to make everything easier and cheaper but it is coming out at a larger cost to our health, the health of the earth, and the abuse the animals go through. On the other organic farming is good for us, the earth, and the animals.
I personally think everyone should be aware of what is happening to our food before it gets to our kitchen, after all whatever our food consumes is also going into our body. This film really gets you thinking, you see how bad these animals look and how unhealthy they really are if the animal is unhealthy then eating it is also unhealthy. In the film one thing that really astonished me was that in factory farms not even the farmers want to handle the animals because the conditions are so bad and no one want to work there so they have to hire inmates from a nearby prison to work at the factory farm. Another thing i learned from the film was that we don't need industrial farming, we would have enough food for everyone with organic farms and it would also be much healthier. If you have not watched the film I would highly recommend it, it is really interesting to see what is really happening to our food. It is also amazing how beneficial organic farming is to our future, if we don't start to change now industrialized farming will become the only kind of farming.
