Food, Inc...

Sorry I've been doing so terrible at keeping up with this blogging thing... I definitely need to do better...

Today's post is going to be different from previous posts, though don't worry I'll get back to naturist/speedo posts hopefully soon..

Topic: Food, Inc.

I just saw the movie/documentary Food, Inc www.foodincmovie.com

Trailer


I'm not going to go into super detail about it right this minute, but lets just say its definitely an EYE OPENER... Its available to watch on netflix I know, not sure where else it can be found, but I'll definitely keep my eye out for a free place to watch it online, since it needs as much exposure as it can get..

After watching it it prompted me to do alittle bit of independent research, and this is what I found..

1)Undercover Egg Industry Investigation Shows Chicks Ground Up Alive (I think the title is pretty self explanatory, and it contains a pretty graphic video)

2) A photo of how chickens are raised in the dark, with no chance of ever seeing sunlight

I'm sure I could find tons of photos, videos, etc... but the point of this post isn't to have me make up your mind for you, its just to open your eyes and your mind to a different away of thinking... as opening up our eyes to the ways that things are currently done is the first step to constructive change...

This definitely makes me want to move forward with my decision to try Vegetarianism/ Veganism... in the near future.. Though I'll admit that is not necessarily a solution to the problem as that is not necessarily a practical solution for all people...

Feel free to comment as would be great to get the discussion started, and also if you like what you have seen so far would be great to get some more activity here on the blog from readers, as that would definitely increase my motivation to post more often...

Interests

Now after my super quick into I thought I would try to post a list of some of my interests:

I know I haven’t included everything on this list, as I’m always finding new things that spark my interests when I go crazy on Wikipedia, so I’ll continue to update this post…I’ll be sure to put the new things in a different color though so you know what’s new and what’s not..

Interests: (in no particular order)

· Swimming

· Surfing

· Scuba

· Speedos

· Water Polo

· Australia

· Naturism/Nudism

· Vegetarianism (I’m not currently a vegetarian, but I am interesting in trying it at sometime in the coming future)

· Environmental Issues such as:

§ Solar Energy

§ Pollution

§ Global Warming

· Issues involving society in the USA:

§ Public Transportation (i.e. High Speed Trains, and other transport)

§ Food Supply and Food Heath Issues

§ Political Issues in General

· Animal Rights/Protection issues such as:

§ Marine Mammal Issues at Parks such as the Miami Seaquarium

I know that this is a lot of different subjects, so once I get going I am thinking that for some of the issues that I wish to cover more in depth that I might start a separate blog for them, so those of you that wish to read those posts can, without bombarding the rest of you with them…

At the Current Point many of these will probably make no sense to you, but over time I will try to do a post on each one, explaining why I am interested in it, with links to resources and other information so any topic that I discuss you can do your own research to make up your own mind, because I am a big believer in that everyone needs to make there own decisions about things, and it would do no good for me to try to stand on a soap box and pretend to be the expert at everything, when I am not, but I would just hope to be able to open your eyes to issues and different topics that you possibly have just never thought about in detail before, so from that point forward you can make more educated decisions….
